Confidence In Government At All Time Low

June 28th, 2007 by Editor: Scott

This probably won’t shock you, but people aren’t so happy with the government. But just in case you thought you were alone - don’t.

Here is the breakdown for the annual approval ratings compared to last years:

  • Congress 14% (down from 19%) *worst ever recorded since the poll started in 1973
  • President 25% (down from 33%)
  • Supreme Court 34% (down from 40%)

The so-called forth branch of government and/or the self appointed government watchdogs: the media hasn’t faired any better.

  • TV News 23% (down from 31%)
  • Newspapers 22% (down from 30%)

The military fared the best at 69%… So Hooah! to all our fighting forces. The people are still with you even if some politicians and activist groups aren’t.
