US Supreme Court poised to rule on birthright citizenship as polls show public opposition to ending it

Kathmandu. As the US Supreme Court prepares to make a significant ruling on President Donald Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship, a new survey shows American public opinion is against it. 

According to a survey conducted by international news agency Reuters and market research firm Ipsos, 64 percent of American citizens favor granting automatic citizenship to all children born in the US. Only 32 percent supported ending this policy. 

This issue is related to an executive order issued by Trump in early 2025, which has been challenged in various courts. The case has now reached the US Supreme Court. A decision is expected in the near future. 

The survey also clearly shows political division. Only about 9 percent of those who vote for the Democratic Party are in favor of removing citizenship. About 62 percent of Republican voters support it. 

The court is also preparing to rule on other sensitive issues, including disputes related to transgender athletes, mail-in vote counting, and electoral district division. 

About 67 percent of Americans support banning transgender athletes from women's sports. Regarding mail-in votes, 65 percent favored counting ballots that were postmarked on election day but arrived late. 

American opinions are also divided on racial representation in the issue of redistricting in Louisiana. This survey was conducted nationwide between April 15 and 20.
