Nearly two-thirds of all American adults polled in a new poll said they believe Supreme Court justices should face time limits and leave the court on the bench after a certain amount of time.
The Reuters / Ipsos survey, conducted April 15-16, found that only 22 percent of respondents support lifelong appointments for Supreme Court judges, while 63 percent support term limits. The rest had no opinion or were in doubt.
While it was important for many Americans to get new faces at the court, at its current size it was not nearly as popular to do without a vacancy on the court. Only 38 percent said they were in favor of “court suits,” that is, expanding the size of the Supreme Court and adding more judges to the bank, while 42 percent were against such an idea. The other 20 percent was uncertain.

In the new Reuters / Ipsos survey, many Americans expressed a lack of confidence in court, and only 49 percent said they had “high” or “reasonable” confidence in their decisions, although that percentage was higher than what was recorded for the respondents who trusted the White House or members of Congress.
The poll was conducted online with responses from 1,003 American adults with a credibility interval of 4 percentage points.
