A roughly equal number of voters say the Supreme Court is either too conservative or balanced "about right," according to a new Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen.

Just over a third of voters  – 34% – said the high court has the right balance of justices, while 33% said it is "too conservative." 

Fifteen percent said the court is "too liberal," and the 18% were unsure.
