As Trump and courts battle over his policies, Americans back judicial authority

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

35% : While Republicans are the most supportive of greater executive power as Trump currently sits in the Oval Office, most of them still reject claims of unilateral authority.
27% : A growing list of policy changes ordered by Trump since he was sworn in have been at least temporarily blocked by federal judges after being challenged in court, including his moves to end birthright citizenship, give Department of Government Efficiency employees access to the Treasury Department's payment systems, reduce the indirect cost recovery rate for all grants issued by the National Institutes of Health, eliminate the U.S. Agency for International Development, and more.
22% : Trump called for a judge who ruled against him to be impeached, prompting a rare rebuke from Chief Justice John Roberts.
15% : The figures underscore how much of what the Trump administration has done has been contested in court -- and Trump and his allies have pushed back against the judiciary as judges have blocked their policies.
