Marquette University: Law School poll to release results of national surveys on Iran war, Trump administration, U.S. Supreme Court, April 22-23

Survey also asked about Artemis II moon mission, data centers, and AI

MILWAUKEE — The Marquette Law School Poll will release the results of its national survey of public opinion, over two days, April 22-23, via written releases.

On Wednesday, April 22, the Marquette Law School Poll will release results of a national survey on an extensive list of topics, including the Iran war, the Artemis II moon mission, the 2026 congressional vote, and more. The survey also covers approval of President Donald Trump across a number of topics, as well as views of data centers, artificial intelligence, and tech companies.

Other topics include confidence in the accuracy of election results, absentee voting, perceived voting by non-citizens, and requirements for proof of citizenship in order to register to vote.

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

On Thursday, April 23, 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 cases before the Court, including the recent ruling against Trump’s tariffs and the pending birthright citizenship case. The survey also explores whether the public thinks the Supreme Court is going out of its way to avoid ruling against Trump. The survey includes Supreme Court cases concerning late-arriving absentee ballots and the president’s authority to remove a Federal Reserve Board governor. The survey also assesses attention to news about the Court. This is the 31st 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 kevin.m.conway@marquette.edu.

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.
