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.
Even Democrats, the most fanatically pro-government extremist segment of the population, report declining sentiments toward the federal government. Just 32% of Democrats report positive views of the federal government. And only around one-in-ten Republicans (11%) see the federal government favorably.
WHAT ABOUT SUPPORT FOR STATE 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.”
