Confidence in US institutions mired near record low: Gallup
Gallup said only 27% of Americans expressed confidence in major institutions, with Congress at 9% and the military at 61%.
- Gallup's June 1–15 poll found small business is the only institution maintaining bipartisan confidence among Democrats, Republicans, and Americans in an era of deep partisan division.
- Every other one of the 17 American institutions scored below 50% in total confidence, reflecting broad and rising cynicism among the electorate ahead of midterm elections.
- The military received 61% confidence from Americans, while the Supreme Court, the presidency, and Congress trailed significantly, with Congress scoring just 9%.
- President Donald Trump's approval rating remains below 50% ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, which The Hill notes may make institutional trust a central voter concern.
- A separate Gallup poll found 75% of Americans consider nurses trustworthy, suggesting public cynicism targets institutions rather than individual professionals delivering services.
