A substantial majority of Americans do not trust elected officials, nor do they believe that those in elected office often face consequences.
The rising sun illuminates the United States Capitol Building on September 19, 2019 in Washington, DC. According to a new survey, Americans have little faith in Congress or their local officials.A substantial majority of Americans do not trust elected officials—including representatives in Congress—nor do they believe that those in elected office are held accountable for unethical actions, a new report from the Pew Research Center has found.
According to the wide-ranging study, members of Congress, local elected officials and leaders of tech companies rank the lowest on various metrics related to good governance, including whether they are seen as caring about the public, providing accurate information or handling resources responsibly.the report explains
."Researchers have found that people's confidence in others and organizations can include their judgments about the competence, honesty and benevolence of the organizations or individuals they are assessing, as well as factors such as empathy, openness, integrity and accountability. These perceptions can be seen as building blocks of trust."
These building blocks of trust are evidently absent from some of the most prominent institutions in American society. Eighty-one percent of adults believe that members of Congress act unethically at least some of the time, the lowest-ranked rating for any institution measured. Congress similarly scored the worst on the question of accountability. Seventy-one percent of the public thinks that federal lawmakers rarely face consequences for unethical actions.
