Americans Distrust Uncle Sam

Trust in Uncle Sam is at an all-time low, with just 18% of Americans saying they believe the federal government does the right thing most of the time — a stark contrast to the 73% confidence seen in 1958. This skepticism has been steadily climbing since 2012, and now partisanship has flipped: Republicans trust the government more than Democrats under the current administration, reversing the trend during Biden’s term. While institutions like doctors, the military, and schools still enjoy strong trust, confidence in Congress, AI companies, and Facebook is plummeting. Meanwhile, Democrats hold a narrow edge in the congressional race among registered voters, but that lead narrows significantly among likely voters — signaling a deeply divided and evolving political landscape.
