Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : In June, by a 7-2 vote, the court threw out the latest and perhaps last legal effort to strike down the Affordable Care Act, the signature legislation of Mr. Obama, which Mr. Trump and fellow Republicans had made a priority of undoing.
45% : The court also declined to hear a Richland, Wash., florist's appeal arguing that her First Amendment religious rights allow her to turn away same-sex couples, despite a state nondiscrimination law.
45% : The next term already promises major new rulings on gun rights and women's access to abortion.
42% : The two-sentence order tracked the outcome in one of the term's major cases, Fulton v. Philadelphia, pitting Catholic Social Services' religious opposition to same-sex marriage against the city's nondiscrimination policies.
