Alito Not Expected to Change Court
Just 20% of Americans believe that the addition of Samuel Alito will significantly change the Supreme Court. A Rasmussen Reports survey finds that 35% believe the Court will change a little while 32% believe it will stay pretty much the same. Overall, 41% of Americans have a favorable opinion of the Supreme Court and 33% have an unfavorable opinion. These figures are little changed since last October, but a modest improvement from last summer.
