Gallup Poll: Americans' Trust in Institutions Hits New Low

Washington, D.C. - A new Gallup poll released today reveals that Americans' trust in institutions has reached an all-time low. The poll found that only 32% of Americans have a great deal or a lot of confidence in the federal government, while 67% have little or no confidence.

The poll also found that trust in other institutions, such as the media, banks, and big business, has also declined significantly. Only 41% of Americans have a great deal or a lot of confidence in the media, while 55% have little or no confidence. Similarly, only 34% of Americans have a great deal or a lot of confidence in banks, while 61% have little or no confidence.

For example, younger Americans (ages 18-29) are more likely to have little or no confidence in institutions than older Americans (ages 65 and older). Additionally, Americans with lower levels of education are more likely to have little or no confidence in institutions than those with higher levels of education.
