A poll that makes you go duh

A Washington Post article made a big deal about how nearly a third of the public thinks the U.S. Supreme Court is too far to the right, according to a new poll. But should that be surprising? What percentage of the U.S. population is liberal or leans to the left? Wouldn’t they think the court is too liberal, especially after the appointments of John Roberts and Samuel Alito. Meanwhile, about half the public thinks the court is generally balanced in its decisions.
