Democrats Have The Most Trust For Politicians
Twenty percent (20%) of Democrats trust America’s political leaders more than the American people, the highest level of support for the politicians found among any measured demographic group. But 63% of Democrats trust the general public more.
Among Republicans, 83% trust people more than politicians as do 76% of those not affiliated with either major party.
It’s nice to see that these poll respondents, in so far as they represent American attitudes in general, have a healthy distrust of those in power. Though that doesn’t explain why we keep electing politicians who want to seize more power (more taxes, more spending, more government programs, more regulations) for the government and the politicians that run it.
If America really has this level of distrust for politicians, then why do we keep voting for politicians who keep making the government bigger and more overbearing?
