Americans’ Trust In Government, Media, And Other Major Institutions Nosedives To Record Low

Repost from The Federalist.

Confidence in major U.S. institutions such as the government, media, law enforcement, and Big Tech is at a record low and has not improved at all since 2021, a new report from Gallup found.

Of the 16 institutions Gallup measured Americans’ confidence in, “Congress” ranked the worst, with only 7 percent of those surveyed claiming they trusted the legislative body. That’s a 5-point drop since Gallup’s 2021 poll.

“The presidency” and “the U.S. Supreme Court” also lost a noteworthy amount of Americans’ trust since last year. While the presidency clocked 38 percent confidence last year and SCOTUS received 36 percent, both branches of government dropped into the low- to mid-20s in 2022. 

Specifically, the court had a 25 percent vote of confidence with Americans before the Dobbs v. Jackson decision was released, and the presidency held 23 percent of Americans’ trust. That’s even lower than President Joe Biden’s current 38 percent approval rating. 

Other institutions such as church or organized religion (31 percent), the criminal justice system (14 percent), big business (14 percent), newspapers (16 percent), and police (45 percent) marked their lowest votes of confidence since the 1990s, according to Gallup.

Virginians for America First (VFAF) is a 501(c)4 established in early 2021 by the Reverend Leon Benjamin. The goal of VFAF is to unify the citizens of the Commonwealth and focus their efforts to regain the majority in the Virginia House of Delegates in 2021. This is the first step in stopping Virginia’s slide into the totalitarian abyss, and the first step in the restoration of our American republic as envisioned by the founders - a republic that provides and protects the freedom and liberties of all it citizens based on the meaning of our national motto, “In God We Trust.”
