14 big institutions in America all at lowest confidence level in in 30 years

Americans may not agree on much, but we seem to agree on this. We don't trust the institutions that run this country. Gallup asked people about the 14 big institutions in America. 12 of them are at their lowest confidence level since 1993. Congress is at 9%. Television news is at 14%. The medical system is at 28%. That matters because institutions are the things we depend on when life gets complicated. Hospitals, schools, courts - we go to these places where we need answers that aren't easy. And honestly, what would we do without them? No one really wants to know that.Recent editions:We’re a nation with fewer dishwashersKids shouldn’t need a permit for a lemonade standThe Last Day of School Is Freedom for Kids and a Puzzle for Parents1 in 5 Teens Are Turning to AI Instead of People When They’re StrugglingYogurtWhy we won’t stop changing clocks anytime soonTrump vs. Time ‘No Elon’ Sticker at Costco and What It Says About How We Buy Things NowMichael B.
