Majority of Americans Believe Presidents Should Obey Courts, Polls Show
A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll reveals that a majority of Americans believe that presidents should obey court rulings, even when they disagree with them. The survey, conducted in March 2025, found that 65% of respondents agreed with this sentiment, highlighting a significant public expectation for adherence to judicial decisions.
Further insights from MassLive and NBC News polls indicate that this view is not limited to one political party. Even among Republicans, there is a notable reluctance to support former President Trump if he were to openly defy court orders. This stance reflects broader concerns about the balance of power and the integrity of democratic institutions.
These findings come at a time when discussions about the role of the judiciary and executive branches are increasingly prominent in the public discourse. The polls suggest that Americans value the rule of law and expect their leaders to respect judicial authority, regardless of political affiliations.
