New poll shows most Americans believe in term limits for Supreme Court justices

(KYMA, KECY/ NBC News) - A new NBC poll suggests that most Americans approve of term limits or retirement ages for Supreme Court justices.

The latest poll from the Associated Press - NORC Center for public affairs research finds that about two of three Americans say they favor term limits or a mandatory retirement age for Supreme Court justices.

82% of Democrats say they don't believe in lifetime appointments, as opposed to just 57% of Republicans.

The poll also noted a sharp increase in the number of Americans who say they have hardly any confidence in the court.
