The Volokh Conspiracy - Fascinating Public Opinion Poll on Judges, the Law, and Trust in Legal Institutions:

From the Rasmussen Reports. There are lot of really interesting tidbits in there, but here's just a taste:

Sixty-one percent (61%) say they trust voters more than judges or elected officials to decide important decisions facing the country. That figure includes 66% of unaffiliated voters, 64% of Republicans, and 54% of Democrats. Overall, 16% say they trusted elected officials to make those decisions while 11% trust judges the most.

Although it's not noted in the poll, I believe 99% of law professors are a part of that 11%. (I kid -- sort of.) Hat tip: Quin at ConfirmThem.
