Polling from the Economist and YouGov showed 58% of the public disapproved of Thomas not disclosing luxury trips he took with Harlan Crow, the Texas billionaire and GOP donor, while only 24% approved.Earlier this month, ProPublica published a detailed investigation of Thomas's relationship with Crow, which spanned more than two decades. The investigation showed Thomas took luxury trips with Crow but failed to report the trips on financial disclosures.
"I have endeavored to follow that counsel throughout my tenure, and have always sought to comply with the disclosure guidelines. These guidelines are now being changed, as the committee of the Judicial Conference responsible for financial disclosure for the entire federal judiciary just this past month announced new guidance. And, it is, of course, my intent to follow this guidance in the future," he continued.
Nevertheless, 72% of the public strongly or somewhat support requiring Supreme Court justices to report gifts, and 69% support a formal code of ethics for the high court. More than half, 55%, believe it's somewhat common for Supreme Court justices to accept gifts without disclosures, and 63% believe it's somewhat common for all judges to accept gifts without disclosures.A little over 40% view Thomas favorably compared with 37% who view him unfavorably. For Republicans, Thomas's favorability jumps to 67% compared to 25% of Democrats who view him favorably.
TheEconomist YouGov I completely support Justice Thomas and consider this another political lie to stain his character. Are you planning on having some corrupt DA to arrest him? Most Americans have wised up to these extreme America hating leftists.
TheEconomist YouGov How ridiculous. Where is the fake outrage over Biden's chinese paiffs?
TheEconomist YouGov I don’t trust polls. And I also more-so do not trust that the original story that was written about this bit of “breaking news” on Justice Thomas wasn’t a biased left-wing hit job. So I’m going to guess that most people don’t know the truth.
TheEconomist YouGov Interesting, since 99.99 percent of people don't know what the hell any of this is about, nor do they care.
TheEconomist YouGov Why don't they concentrate on the corrupt Biden?
TheEconomist YouGov 58% of responders are ignorant of SCOTUS reporting requirements, which Justice Thomas did not violate. Many of the 58% are also racist bigot liberals hating people who are 1) more successful and or 2)they do not politically agree with. NYT washingtonpost ABC NBCNews CNN
TheEconomist YouGov Biden family takes millions from the Chinese & Russians, but were upset about Thomas? Sickening hypocrisy.
TheEconomist YouGov Especially when you only ask Leftists.
TheEconomist YouGov What’s their opinion of the Biden family grift? Oh we can’t go there. Please stop with this targeting of conservatives. It’s so obvious.
TheEconomist YouGov Meantime Pelosi is never criticized.
TheEconomist YouGov One of the best justice of the Supreme Court. You people at the WX are just the most despicable people in American media. Move in Beijing Biden will never nominate another justice PERIOD.. At least justice Thomas's knows what a woman is...
TheEconomist YouGov Now do Biden
TheEconomist YouGov He’s not resigning
TheEconomist YouGov All people see is the Marxist onslaught on fake news against him
TheEconomist YouGov Bullshit!
TheEconomist YouGov
TheEconomist YouGov Gifts between friends not a payoff like Quid pro Joe.
TheEconomist YouGov A billionaire's trip will always seem like a luxury trip to the masses, to the billionaire it may be considered budget.
TheEconomist YouGov I do not believe polls. Justice Clarence Thomas is probably one of the most ethical judges we have.
TheEconomist YouGov Until you provide info on all the judges I’ll withhold judgement. As far as I’ve read he has done nothing incriminating or illegal.
TheEconomist YouGov So you can't have a lifelong friend gift you anything. Where they birthday/anniversary gifts? No gifts from friends who are wealthy (unless your a Dem) but totally okay for gifts from China, RU, Ukraine etcGot it!!
TheEconomist YouGov Who cares the nation is on fire we are on the brink of ww3 and you won't ask Joey shit.....
TheEconomist YouGov Now do Biden and Hunter!
TheEconomist YouGov He’s going nowhere, the billionaire has been a life long friend and was so long before he became a justice
TheEconomist YouGov Poll was taken in only blue states. Check out where polls are taken, same for Biden polls only in blue states
TheEconomist YouGov Now do a poll on Robert Menendez, Nancy Pelosi, and every other member of Congress going on vacations with their friends.
TheEconomist YouGov Depends on how survey worded Nimrod
TheEconomist YouGov No they don’t. Nobody cares
TheEconomist YouGov BS
TheEconomist YouGov Attacking Thomas is racist
TheEconomist YouGov Depends on how you ask the question. There is NO problem with CT traveling and spending time with long time friends. The left wants to destroy any strong voice that counters their narrative and slows down the path to Marxism in any way. StandWithClarenceThomas
TheEconomist YouGov Actually its Judge Jackson that should be thrown off the SCOTUS. She could not define what a women is. That's very concerning to women who have spent a lifetime struggling for inclusion and equality. Does she plan to erase all we have achieved?
TheEconomist YouGov How many disapprove of Joe Biden taking money from China?
TheEconomist YouGov Interesting that so many justices accepted gifts and trips, but none but Thomas is in the news. Don’t bother telling me why. We all know.
TheEconomist YouGov I approve of Thomas's choices. Add me to that 24%.
TheEconomist YouGov Clarence Thomas has been the nemesis of the left for a long time. This is no surprise. I truly admire the man. Should he have accepted the gifts? No. But it doesn’t change my mind about him.
TheEconomist YouGov No one knows the details. They just know the attacks.
TheEconomist YouGov Then 24% know the facts
TheEconomist YouGov Who cares? Brainwash by media and democrats….
TheEconomist YouGov Unless we investigate them all, I don’t care.
TheEconomist YouGov Envy. A lot of people treat friends on a lower economic scale than they are.
TheEconomist YouGov 90% of the public has no idea what you're talking about. 80% don't know the name of more than 1 justice or how many judges make up the Supreme Court.
TheEconomist YouGov Never polled.....again.
TheEconomist YouGov I don't care at all
TheEconomist YouGov 58% of the public? They can't even get the Census right. 58% of the public?
TheEconomist YouGov biden gets freebies, but no outrage?
TheEconomist YouGov Remember, this is just a political tactic by Democrats to try to unseat a Conservative justice so Biden can nominate another leftist radical to the bench. It is all politics.
TheEconomist YouGov 99% of people are jealous they don’t have a wealthy friend like this.
Why45huh TheEconomist YouGov How about doing the gifts the Biden Crime Family accepted from China, Ukraine and Russia. Then get back to me.
TheEconomist YouGov Propaganda works against conservatives
TheEconomist YouGov Manipulation of polls !!!!! Disgusting.
TheEconomist YouGov He didn’t have to disclose. Read the article. 100% of people who didn’t vote for Biden believe his vacation/Hunter business trip to Ireland shouldn’t be paid for by US taxpayers. How about that disclosure.
TheEconomist YouGov I do not believe most Americans understand a lynching as they watch it happening live.
TheEconomist YouGov They only know one side as usual. Push polls should be illegal elonmusk
TheEconomist YouGov I don't trust YouGov on issues polling. They stink at it
TheEconomist YouGov Oh leave this man alone and start doing real journalism and focus on the disaster Joe Biden is.
TheEconomist YouGov I don’t know who they polled, but they seem to have done a push poll. Justice Thomas is the GOAT
TheEconomist YouGov Not even remotely true!
TheEconomist YouGov Fake news
TheEconomist YouGov No one gives a shit. He has been 100% consistent in his legal philosophy
TheEconomist YouGov Maybe so BUT what about all that under the table funding from China to the Biden’s. What about that? Which one is more damaging? I’m saying the China money!
TheEconomist YouGov All liberals just stop. This is Racist.
TheEconomist YouGov You can’t apply a new rule to the past. 🤦♂️
TheEconomist YouGov That's because the public hasn't been told the full truth, which is that until late March 2023 there were no rules or laws requiring disclosure of gifts under most circumstances. It's not being reported accurately which is spewing public opinion
TheEconomist YouGov Lol.
TheEconomist YouGov ♦️Rep Matt Gaetz joined OANN to react to Biden's decision to give illegal aliens access to Obamacare & Medicaid that would drain billions of dollars from American taxpayers and deny them potentially life-saving care– and more
TheEconomist YouGov Why am I reading this nonsense from the Examiner? Unfollowed
TheEconomist YouGov It is harder to make an informed decision with lamestream media. What I want to know is did Clarence Thomas gifted the house to his mother and merely paid property taxes on it for her?
TheEconomist YouGov Only 24% bothered to discover the facts behind the spin before forming an opinion.
TheEconomist YouGov Nothing illegal about it
TheEconomist YouGov What % agree with ideologically motivated smear campaigns? Manufactured outrage. Turn the focus to inside trading and influence peddling in Washington by both parties. Noise to deflect from Biden Family corruption.
TheEconomist YouGov
TheEconomist YouGov Considering the near defamatory way it was published by the drive-by media types, I am not surprised. Too bad for the Democrat slime bags his position is not subjected to a popularity contest.
TheEconomist YouGov Now do biden. Geez.
TheEconomist YouGov Guess what. He won't be stepping down. Keep trying to dog him. Won't work. He's seen so much worse. He's a black man.
TheEconomist YouGov Polls are meaningless. They can be slanted depending upon who you chose to contact. I do not believe most Americans trust them any longer.
TheEconomist YouGov That’s because you lie about the facts.
TheEconomist YouGov No one cares
TheEconomist YouGov Unless the gift-giver has business before the Court, there’s nothing wrong here. It’s no different from all the sports tickets I’ve been gifted by my friend.
TheEconomist YouGov Well, that's certainly an impartial sampling. Now, how about a poll on the millions paid to the Biden crime family by Communist China?
TheEconomist YouGov POTUS & family's undisclosed gifts?
TheEconomist YouGov Because JoeBiden and Hunter…
TheEconomist YouGov What public? Who are the ppl being 'polled'?
TheEconomist YouGov
TheEconomist YouGov Yea leftist AI survey. Vermin.
TheEconomist YouGov It’s too bad the other 42% believes grift is OK.
TheEconomist YouGov Biden has been trying to get Justice Thomas since the Senate hearings, before he was even sworn in. Best Justice we have--no wonder they want him gone.
TheEconomist YouGov That's because they have been duped into thinking such reporting was required.
TheEconomist YouGov As bad as Bidens approval ratings, doesn’t mean he should resign.
TheEconomist YouGov There's bigger REAL problems to focus on.
TheEconomist YouGov Just more witch hunts in search of a crime that doesn’t exist. Tells me they can’t beat him, so indict him on fake crimes. Hilariously pathetic!
TheEconomist YouGov He did nothing wrong. Invest your time on real criminals- the Biden cartel.
TheEconomist YouGov
TheEconomist YouGov Now do a story on all the gifts unreported by Ruth
TheEconomist YouGov Polls see only as good as the type of questions asked. Any question, worded differently, will get the response the questioners want to get.
TheEconomist YouGov Wrong! You did not ask all of us!
TheEconomist YouGov
TheEconomist YouGov So, going on trips with friends is now illegal? What about all those people that Epstein flew to his pedophile island? Can you release the flight logs, especially since his assistant is doing 25 years in jail?
TheEconomist YouGov This is such a joke. Just another example of the radical left going after anyone that threatens their agenda.
TheEconomist YouGov Now do the Biden’s accepting bribes from China, Russia and Ukraine
TheEconomist YouGov Stop attacking Justice Thomas!
TheEconomist YouGov So what? He didn’t have to.
TheEconomist YouGov Liberal racism
TheEconomist YouGov Don't think so. Who did you poll. Dead people?
TheEconomist YouGov I'm the public an I approve.. Every SCOTUS just started to have to disclose this. This man has been judge Thomas' friend for yrs. Every SCOTUS have disclosed gifts that they are receiving, including Thomas. They always choose the only black man in the room. Right Dems?
TheEconomist YouGov Yet they probably approve of the latest appointment who doesn't have a definition of their gender.
TheEconomist YouGov Because the left is reporting as if Thomas’ behavior was unusual. In context it doesn’t look nearly as bad.
TheEconomist YouGov *Yawn* Pathetic, racist people
TheEconomist YouGov The house with his mom is a nothingburger. It looks like the house was sold under market value with the agreement his mom could stay. He sells a house for $100,000 under value and his mom gets $100,000. in free rent. I sell to investors all the time who will pay less than…
TheEconomist YouGov It doesn’t matter he serves his term for life
TheEconomist YouGov Racist.
TheEconomist YouGov How many of them disapproved Biden's graft.
TheEconomist YouGov Grow up.
TheEconomist YouGov Bullshit
TheEconomist YouGov Polls are bullshit
TheEconomist YouGov Drag the whole of DC through the mud or you aren't being serious.
TheEconomist YouGov So Kagan, Sotomayor, Breyer etc took no trips as well? Let’s deep dive their finances too.
TheEconomist YouGov
TheEconomist YouGov 'Gifts', like staying at a friend's house aren't gifts. (d)s are just trying to get Thomas out so they can pollute SCOTUS with a radical who'll allow tons of unconstitutional executive orders.
TheEconomist YouGov This is even before today's bombshell about Hatlan Crow buying a house for Thomas' elderly mother, adding $36,000 in renovations and adopting her! 😂🤢
TheEconomist YouGov What gifts?
TheEconomist YouGov No conflict of interest. But reveals the conflict of the ingrates
TheEconomist YouGov Didn't ask me!
TheEconomist YouGov 100% BS!
TheEconomist YouGov The President is literally owned by China. This is clearly racism.
TheEconomist YouGov Oh please 🙄
TheEconomist YouGov I’m sure they got the full story. 🙄
TheEconomist YouGov Don't care. This is such a non-issue distraction when compared with election fraud.
TheEconomist YouGov Notice the headline and article don’t provide the wording of the question provided to those polled.
TheEconomist YouGov Not surprising as they've been fed nothing by BS so far. Another high tech lynching of a black man
TheEconomist YouGov Yeah, I’m sure the distorted way it’s been presented in the news had NOTHING to do with that.
TheEconomist YouGov Don't care.
TheEconomist YouGov
TheEconomist YouGov Yeah no one asked me so…considering the fact that the Biden family, among other liberal politicians, including the wicked witch herself, Nancy Pelosi, have been bankrolled by China, I’m safely gonna say I’m perfectly okay with that.
TheEconomist YouGov Considering all of the insider trading and straight up criminal behavior going on in Congress and the Senate, people don’t give a damn about this nothingburger you’re trying to make front page news.
TheEconomist YouGov Was the question posed including that he wasn’t required to disclose it?
TheEconomist YouGov So, tell them the whole story.
TheEconomist YouGov
TheEconomist YouGov So? (Especially considering how you phrased the poll question)
