“A fresh Gallup poll, disclosed just before Independence Day, unveils a startling decline in trust in the U.S. government amongst the G7 nations. Only 31% of American adults stated that they trust their government – a significant decrease from the high of 56% in 2006. A worrying 69% of Americans have voiced distrust in the current U.S. government.
Our British friends show a little more faith, with 33% of adults expressing confidence in their governing body.
These findings coincide with a significant question raised by a recent Fox News poll: “”Have America’s golden days passed?”” It appears the majority thinks so.
The sentiment is not shared across the board in the G7. Germany tops the list with a 61% confidence rating, trailed by Canada at 51%, France at 46%, Japan at 43%, and Italy at 41%.
According to Gallup, American faith in its government has been deteriorating steadily, but it took a notable hit, sliding from 46% to 40% in the wake of Biden’s swearing-in in 2021. By 2022, it plummeted to a lowly 31%, equal to previous lows seen in 2013, 2016, and 2018.
The Biden administration seems to be stuck in a quagmire of poor approval ratings, lingering in the low 40s over the past year, as evidenced by a recent Fox News poll.
A separate Gallup poll paints a similar picture, with only 39% of U.S. adults displaying “”extreme pride”” in their country, barely avoiding last year’s record low. Is this another indicator of the current administration’s shortcomings?”
