Key points
From AP News’s report- Deadline passed Tuesday for Trump administration to seek Supreme Court rehearing on birthright citizenship.
- Court rejected Trump's executive order denying automatic citizenship to some children born in the U.S.
- Justices 6-3 decision blocked the administration's birthright citizenship restrictions.
- Trump had vowed to seek a rehearing shortly after the ruling, but no filing appeared.
- Legal experts say the odds of a rehearing are long, with no recent reversals.
Why it matters. The declines accompany near-record-low trust in 14 major U.S. institutions, with Republicans driving much of the Court’s six-point slide since 2025.
What to watch. Future polls will track whether ratings change after YouGov measured Congress at 23.2% in July 2025 and Republican Court approval reached 58%.
