In this era of "fake news", trust is always being called into question, whether it's the content in the president's Twitter feed or the creepy notion that your Amazon Echo is listening in on your private conversations with sinister intentions. Even though "In God We Trust" is the official motto of the United States, distrust is rampant in 21st century America.
But, as Statista'a Niell McCarthy notes, when it comes to the nation's institutions which are bedrocks of the country, however, trust levels are remaining consistent.
Gallup recently polled U.S. adults about their confidence levels in 15 different societal institutions, finding only three had a majority-level of trust.
As a middle aged, hard working citizen (and Veteran)...that looks very consistent with my impressions.
