The U.S. Supreme Court is set to decide on several contentious issues, including birthright citizenship, as a new poll shows most Americans oppose its termination. The issue is polarizing, with a majority of Republicans in support while most Democrats favor retaining the policy.

Among other rulings, the court is expected to allow states to enforce laws restricting transgender athletes from women's sports, a stance backed by a significant number of Republicans. Furthermore, the court will deliberate on the validity of mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day.

The conservative-majority court is also addressing representation for Black voters in Louisiana's congressional maps, showcasing the nation's varying stances on race-based considerations. As these rulings unfold, public sentiment toward the court remains starkly divided along party lines.
