• A new poll shows a sharp divide among MAGA supporters on whether the Trump administration should comply with federal court rulings, with opinions split 50/50. While 81% of Americans overall support compliance with court decisions, experts warn that such division could weaken trust in the judicial system and democracy.

WASHINGTON, D.C., June 16, 2025 — A new poll reveals a sharp divide among supporters of President Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement over whether the administration should comply with federal court orders blocking its actions.

The NBC News Decision Desk poll, powered by SurveyMonkey, surveyed 19,410 U.S. adults between May 30 and June 10. Respondents were asked about the appropriate course of action if a federal court rules a Trump administration policy illegal. Among MAGA supporters, opinions were evenly split — 50% believe the administration must follow court rulings, while the other 50% think it can ignore them.

Sharp Partisan Divide on Federal Court Compliance

The issue highlights a significant partisan divide. Democrats overwhelmingly agree on the need to follow federal court rulings, with 96% supporting compliance. Independents also lean heavily in favor, with 87% saying the administration must adhere to court orders, while 13% disagreed. Overall, 81% of respondents across political affiliations believe federal court rulings must be respected, leaving 19% in opposition.

Legal experts warn that public division on this issue could erode trust in judicial authority. “The rule of law hinges on compliance with court decisions, regardless of political allegiance,” said constitutional law professor Maria Carter at Georgetown University. “This split underscores growing tensions in how Americans view the balance of power across government branches.”

Broader Implications for Democracy

The polarization comes as President Trump continues to face legal challenges to his administration’s policies. From immigration orders to environmental rollbacks, federal courts have repeatedly intervened. Political scientists suggest this reflects a broader struggle over government accountability and institutional trust in a divided nation.

In light of these results, Americans may need to grapple with what this means for democracy, especially as the 2024 elections loom. What do you think? Share your thoughts below.
