Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : There are many high-profile cases left to be decided, including two cases that could determine the fate of affirmative action in higher education, and it's always a mistake to draw conclusions about the direction of the court based on one ruling.
44% : But the Dobbs ruling arguably also made it riskier for the conservatives to issue more rulings that narrow or get rid of existing rights: Polling conducted last summer by PerryUndem, a nonpartisan research firm, found that many American voters saw a connection between the overturning of the constitutional right to abortion and their own personal rights and freedoms.
25% : Roberts reportedly lobbied his fellow conservatives to preserve the constitutional right to abortion, and he criticized the decision to chuck it, saying that he would have preferred a "more measured course."
