Marquette Law School Poll to release results of national surveys on Iran war, Trump administration, U.S. Supreme Court, June 3-4

The Marquette Law School Poll will release the results of its national survey of public opinion via written releases over two days, June 3-4.

On Wednesday, June 3, the Marquette Law School Poll will release results of a national survey on an extensive list of topics, including the Iran war, the 2026 congressional vote, and the strengths and weaknesses of each party. The survey also covers approval of President Donald Trump across a number of topics, as well as views of prominent Democratic and Republican figures.

Other topics include whether the war with Iran has achieved its goals, if it has been worth the cost, and whether the United States should resume bombing to force Iran to turn over nuclear materials and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Additional topics include views of the economy, gas and grocery prices, expectations for inflation, and views about tariffs.

On Thursday, June 4, the Marquette Law School Poll will release results pertaining to public opinion about the U.S. Supreme Court. The poll provides the latest trends in national approval of the Supreme Court and views of a number of cases before the Court, including the recent rulings on congressional redistricting and "conversion therapy." Public opinion of pending cases on birthright citizenship, transgender athletes, and removals from the Federal Reserve and from independent agencies is also measured. The survey explores whether the public thinks the Supreme Court is going out of its way to avoid ruling against Trump. The survey also includes opinion about the Court's makeup, such as expanding the size of the Court and setting fixed terms for justices, as well as perceptions of how often the Court has ruled in favor of the Trump administration or in favor of challengers to administration policies. In addition, the survey assesses attention to news about the Court. This is the 32nd installment in a series of nationwide surveys, begun in 2019, measuring public understanding and opinion of the nation's highest court.

The written releases and corresponding data will be distributed and made available on the stated dates at 1 a.m. ET, on the Marquette Law School Poll website. Embargoed written releases of these national survey results will be available to members of the media who formally register their interest in advance online and agree to stated embargo policies. Reporters who have registered for previous embargoes do not need to register again.

Interviews with Poll Director Charles Franklin following the releases are available on request by contacting Kevin Conway at [email protected].

The Marquette Law School Poll has achieved considerable acclaim for its surveys of both Wisconsin and the nation more generally. Launched in 2012, it has become the most extensive statewide polling project in Wisconsin history, setting the standard for measuring public opinion in the state. Since 2019, the Law School's surveys of national public opinion about the U.S. Supreme Court and selected political issues have expanded the work of the poll both geographically and topically.

This work has been nationally recognized for its accuracy and transparency. Among more than 500 pollsters across the United States, for example, the Marquette Law School Poll has been ranked second by Nate Silver's Silver Bulletin. FiveThirtyEight.com ranked the poll third, also giving it the nation's only perfect 10 score for transparency.

Charles Franklin has directed the poll since its inception in 2012. A professor of law and public policy at Marquette Law School, Franklin also served on the ABC News election night Decision Desk from 2002 to 2020. He is a past president of the Society for Political Methodology and an elected fellow of the society; he holds a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Michigan.
