BLM Effect: Eminent Domain Impacts Government Favorability Polling

What’s happening? Gallup released polling about whether American like their 3 branches of government. Surprise! not so much. 43% like the President. 27% like Congress. 2/5 like the Supreme Court.

Why is this important? When the Supreme Court issued its Kelo decision on Eminent Domain in 2005, its approval tanked to the low level it is now.

How will this be important? People are paying attention to social justice, populist issues like is the big guy (government) taking land from he little guy. Cities and states are returning land and creating commissions to study how to correct for prior governmental acts that displaced minority communities.
