Confidence « Social Issues »

Gallup recently completed its annual poll of the US citizens' confidence in various institutions.

The military is still the top, natch. Here are the top Five, and the percentage of respondents who have a "great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in each institution:




The Military                            75

Police                                  64

Church/Organized Religion               53

Banks                                   53

The Presidency                          52



And at the bottom?  Three of the bottom six are traditionally liberal:

Organized Labor                         31

Television News                         30

Newpapers                               30

Yeah, Big Business is down there, too, at just 7%...

But you get more of the story if you read the whole thing

I know that we are surprised by those numbers (eyes rolling). I sure hope the media doesn't feign shock at their low rung.

Organised labour, Television News and Newspapers are not liberal. They are just part of the same "Firewall" to misdirect people who are really searching for mutual respect and peace.
