“A new Gallup poll published on the brink of Independence Day brings to light an unsettling reality: confidence in the U.S. government is the lowest among all G7 countries. Only 31% of Americans express trust in their government, representing a significant drop from the zenith of 56% in 2006. A startling 69% of Americans stated they lack confidence in their government.
Interestingly, the U.K. slightly surpasses the U.S. with 33% of adults expressing trust in their government.
This bleak scenario aligns with a recent Fox News poll question: “”Are America’s golden days over?”” Many Americans appear to concur.
Other G7 countries showcase higher levels of trust in their governments. Germany leads with 61%, trailed by Canada at 51%, France at 46%, Japan at 43%, and Italy at 41%.
Gallup’s analysis shows American confidence in its government has been in steady decline over the years. However, it plummeted from 46% to 40% after President Biden’s inauguration in 2021, with a further drop to 31% in 2022.
Biden’s presidency continues to be haunted by low approval ratings, oscillating between 42% and 46% for the past year, as per a recent Fox News poll.
In parallel, a separate Gallup poll disclosed that only 39% of U.S. adults exhibit “”extreme pride”” in their nation, a meager rise from last year’s record low. Does this also signal the shortcomings of the current administration?”
