Support for limiting how long as Supreme Court justice can serve is at 69%, while 27% oppose limits. It’s at 77%-18% among Democrats, 61%-36% among Republicans, and 69%-27% among independents.
But the poll doesn’t indicate any timeframe on what a term limit might be, and few justices retire early.
The senior justice on the court, Clarence Thomas, has been there for more than 30 years. Stephen Breyer recently retired after almost 28 years, Anthony Kennedy left at 30, and John Paul Stevens stepped down after 34 years. Two justices who died in office over the last six years were there for nearly three decades: Antonin Scalia served for 29 years and Ruth Bader Ginsburg for 27.
Justice David Souter retired at age 69 after a relatively short 18-year stint. Chief Justice Warren Burger was 79 when he retired after 17 years.
