Marquette law School polls:  September 8-15, 2020;

The court won support from 49% of those surveyed by Marquette University Law School. That’s down from 60% in July and two-thirds a year ago.

The federal appeals court in San Francisco had held that the measures disproportionately affected Black, Hispanic and Native American voters in violation of the landmark Voting Rights Act.
