61 Percent Say They Don’t Trust Donald Trump: Poll
A new PBS poll found that 61 percent of Americans don’t trust Donald Trump.
And among independents, 70 percent say that they don’t trust the Trump administration. Democrats have even less faith in Trump with 90 percent saying they don’t trust the administration.
“Among Republicans, 84 percent of respondents said they trust the president and his administration,” PBS notes.
Civility has become worse under Trump
The PBS poll also found that Americans believe civility is getting worse under Trump.
According to the poll, 70 percent of Americans think political civility has worsened since Trump was elected president.
Trust in the media continues to erode
The poll also had troubling findings when it comes to trust in the media. Just 30 percent say that they trust the media at least a good amount.
Like most issues, trust in the media breaks along party lines with only 9 percent of Republicans saying they trust the media. At the same time, 56 percent of Democrats and 28 percent of independents say they trust the media.
