A couple of items here. I found this first one truly surprising:

This one, however, is unsurprising:

Quote:Most Republicans support the policy proposals in President Biden’s plan to reform the Supreme Court, according to a new USA Today/Ipsos poll.
Biden outlined a three-pronged approach to reforming the high court in a speech last month, calling for a binding code of conduct, 18-year term limits for Supreme Court justices, and a Constitutional amendment declaring no one — not even the president — is above the law.
The latest poll shows 70 percent of Republicans support a binding code of conduct for justices that would require disclosure of gifts, prohibit involvement in political activity, and mandate recusal from cases involving conflicts of interest for themselves or their spouses.
Slimmer majorities of Republicans support the constitutional amendment proposal (54 percent) and the term limits proposal (51 percent).

This one, however, is unsurprising:
Quote:Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s favorability with the public has cratered in the past two years, amid a wave of reporting about his financial disclosures and, particularly, gifts from wealthy donors, a USA Today/Ipsos poll published Monday revealed.
Thomas’s net favorability sits in the new survey at negative 15 percentage points — 27 percent favorable to 42 percent unfavorable — down 24 points from a net positive of 9 points in April 2022.
The decline was driven largely by Democrats’ and independents’ souring views.
In 2022, Thomas’s net favorability among Democrats was negative 19 percentage points, but it has plummeted to negative 63 percentage points: only 9 percent favorable to 72 percent unfavorable.
Among independents, Thomas’s net favorability dropped from being a positive 6 percentage points to negative 14 points.
The justice saw a 10-point dip in support from Republicans as well, from a net favorability of positive 43 points two years ago to positive 33 points this month.
