MILWAUKEE — The Marquette Law School Poll will release the results of its national survey of public opinion, over two days, Feb. 12-13, via written releases.
On Wednesday, Feb. 12, the Marquette Law School Poll will release results of a national survey on the new President Donald Trump administration and other political topics. The poll asks how respondents feel about Trump and his early initiatives and executive orders. Views of several of his cabinet nominees are included, as are topics such as attention to news about the cabinet, plans for deportation of immigrants, and plans to cut federal spending. Also included are views of the economy and personal finances, along with policy preferences on a number of issues, including tariffs, deportation of immigrants who are in the United States illegally, and several foreign policy questions.
On Thursday, Feb. 13, the Marquette Law School Poll will release results pertaining to public opinion about the U.S. Supreme Court. The poll provides the latest trends in national approval of, and confidence in, the Supreme Court and other institutions. The survey reviews public reaction to recent Court decisions and attention to news about the Court. The poll surveys public opinion about the ethical standards of the Court, concern about future appointments of justices, and presidential powers vis-a-vis the Court. This is the 24th installment in a series of nationwide surveys, begun in 2019, measuring public understanding and opinion of the nation’s highest court.
The written releases and corresponding data will be distributed and made available on the above-stated dates at 1 a.m. EST, on the Marquette Law School Poll website. Embargoed written releases of these national surveys will be available to members of the media who formally register their interest in advance online and agree to stated embargo policies.
