(CNN) A wide majority of Americans 70% oppose impeaching federal judges who are slowing down President Donald Trumps agenda as the idea continues to gain traction among Republicans in Congress, according to a poll released Thursday morning.
In addition, 83% say the president must obey US Supreme Court decisions, the Marquette Law School poll found. (That view holds across party lines, including 78% of Republicans, 82% of independents and 90% of Democrats.)
Trump, Republicans and allies like Elon Musk have railed against courts that sided against the administration as the White House pushes a historically aggressive agenda.
At the forefront has been US District Judge James Boasberg, who has blocked the Trump administrations ability to use the Alien Enemies Act to quickly deport some migrants. Boasbergs move last month led to Trump calling for his impeachment. Chief Justice John Roberts, in an extraordinarily rare move, rebuked Trump for his comments on March 18.
