Poll: Support Grows for States to Ignore Federal Court Rulings

By Published on July 4, 2015

The Rasmussen Reports survey released Friday finds an increasing number of likely U.S. voters believe states can disobey federal court rulings if their elected officials agree with them. The poll follows a pair of controversial Supreme Court decisions issued last week on ObamaCare subsidies and same-sex marriage. Rasmussen found that 33 percent of likely U.S. voters think states should be able to ignore federal court rulings if their elected officials agree with them. That number is up nine points from 24 percent during a similar survey last February. Just over half (52 percent) disagree, down from 58 percent in the previous sampling. Rasmussen Reports added that 15 percent remain undecided on the issue. Friday’s poll also found that support for state disapproval of federal court rulings is rising regardless of political party.
