Public Confidence in the U.S. Supreme Court: A New Look
at the Impact of Court Decisions
Abstract: Judicial scholars have long debated the notion that Court decisions can influence the public’s
attitudes toward the U.S. Supreme Court. We engage this literature by introducing a theory and
innovative methods to explore this link. We begin our analysis by examining the relationship between
specific Court decisions and public confidence with aggregate time series data. Our analysis then shifts to
an examination of individual-level survey data to examine the same hypothesis. Our results indicate that
specific decisions can have a significant positive and negative on an individual-level confidence in the
Court. We conclude with a discussion of the implications of our findings for the theoretical and
methodological debates over the influence of Court decisions on public opinion.
