The online YouGov survey showed 54% of respondents either “strongly” or “somewhat” approved of the court’s ruling, while 35% said they either “strongly” or “somewhat” disapproved.
Another 12% said they were “not sure” how they felt.
Opinions of the decision broke down across partisan lines, with roughly 84% of Democrats backing it compared to just 24% of Republicans.
Nearly half of self-described independent voters (48%) approved of the ruling, while 35% said they disapproved.
The 4-3 ruling, handed down Tuesday evening, cited Section 3 of the Civil War-era Fourteenth Amendment, commonly known as the Insurrection Clause or Disqualification Clause, which bars those found to have engaged in “insurrection or rebellion” from holding office.
