Support for the Supreme Court among likely voters is the highest it has been in two and a half years after the oral arguments before the Court on the Affordable Care Act, according to new polling from Rasmussen Reports:

Forty-one percent (41%) of Likely U.S. Voters now rate the Supreme Court’s performance as good or excellent, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. That’s up 13 points from 28% in mid-March and is the court’s highest ratings in two-and-a-half years.

Nineteen percent (19%) still rate the court’s work record as poor, unchanged from last month. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

A majority of likely voters oppose the health care law, with 61 percent seeing repeal of the law likely; among adults, ABC News found Americans oppose the law 52-41.
