Fewer Than One in Four Americans Have a Positive View of Federal Government
According to a new poll, fewer than one in four Americans have a favorable opinion about the federal government.
The Pew Research Center released data from their American Trends Panel survey on Thursday, which found only 22 percent of adults have a positive opinion of the federal government.
Pew reports, “State governments get mixed ratings: 50% of adults have a favorable opinion and 49% have an unfavorable view. This reflects a 4-point decline in favorability since 2022 and a 9-point decline since 2019.”
Additionally, “61% of adults rate their local government positively. But this, too, is down from 66% in 2022 and 69% in 2019.”
Democrats are approximately three times as likely as Republicans to have a positive view of the federal government.
