Gallup has conducted a survey of American confidence in several institutions [DATA HERE]. Overall confidence in institutions has dropped significantly in the last year, which is not a surprise given the turmoil now seemingly all around us.
The survey measures and compares American confidence from 2021 to 2022. It is worth noting, confidence in the office of the presidency is the #1 drop in the survey.
GALLUP – “This year’s poll marks new lows in confidence for all three branches of the federal government — the Supreme Court (25%), the presidency (23%) and Congress. Five other institutions are at their lowest points in at least three decades of measurement, including the church or organized religion (31%), newspapers (16%), the criminal justice system (14%), big business (14%) and the police.” (link)
This survey reflects and increasingly dangerous position for government and institutions of society. We are a nation, a representative republic, that is held together with a common understanding of basic adherence to values, principles and lawfulness.
Take away confidence, and what this survey really starts to outline is institutions losing legitimacy in the eyes of We The People. Dangerous things can happen when unease and distrust exist.
There is a solid argument to be made that Joe Biden was specifically selected by the radicals, because he is easily manipulated to anger by the elements around him.
Saul Alinsky taught the Obama-era radicals that fundamental change required chaos.
Chaos creates instability, which can then be used to promote their shift. The outcome of the shift is a lack of social cohesion. The absence of cohesion is directly related to the lack of confidence in the institutions.
Pretty significant decrease for the police. I used to feel bad that they were so maligned and unappreciated back in 2020 during the BLM riots. So I made sure to show support visibly wherever I could. But after seeing them all zealously hunting down mask and vaccine violators, while ignoring real crime…meh, sorry guys, you’re on your own.
Gross and unfair generalization. Do you not know the number of law enforcement officers who have left not just their state of service, but some, the force altogether? No one has their backs. They have families too. In a lot of cases, they have little kids just like everyone else, or maybe a daughter they want to walk down the aisle, or maybe a son who needs his dad, and they want to go home at the end of the shift, just like everyone else. Most of them joined because they have tough minds, clear heads, and skills, that could best be used by tracking down the bad guys and protecting the public.
No. I back the blue.
Watch the Daniel Shaver execution and you might change your mind
A horrifying and disgusting event to be sure. But that out of how many millions of police interactions that take place every year? Unfortunately, the wrong cop was disciplined (-ish) in the Shaver incident. It should have been the CO who was escalating and shouting conflicting instructions.
…but… let’s not forget (just as with the various BLM poster killings) what started the police interaction: a sh-tfaced man in a hotel pointing a rifle out the window. It’s sad. It should have been handled differently. And there should be accountability. But the truth is there are far, far more good cops than bad ones. We just hear about the 5 or 10% who either don’t do their job or think they’re GI-JOE.
🙏💙 Well said!
I will always back the blue.
I suggest those who truly love the badge but have left the force, try a conservative state. We have numerous active and retired police officers in our family and they are sadden at how these officers have and are acting! Remember Texas and the innocent children who died attending school where they should should have safe!
I had a license plate with the blue flag saying I support the badge, I removed it long before renewal for a generic plate. I stand with Owen/Markelstein!
The militarization the police in the 1990’s and 2000’s was a real thing.
PLENTY of warning on that subject!!!
Like everything, no one notices or it’s a conspiracy until it’s finally pointed at them.
As a LEO for a local Sheriff’s Office in Georgia, I can say the broad category of “law enforcement” makes it impossible to really gauge what the poll is purporting to show for that category.
There is a huge difference between the increasingly overt and oppressive behavior of many in federal law enforcement and in some woke city police departments and most Sheriff’s Offices I am familiar with where in most states the sheriffs are independent constitutional officers. Obviously, not all are honest and true to their oaths to support and defend the federal and their respective state constitutions (indeed one in a metro Atlanta county is under federal indictment and an previous one in another metro Atlanta county hired a hit man to murder his predecessor), but most that I am familiar with are as concerned as any American should be over the lawlessness shown by many LEOs (mainly federal) in recent years.
In Democrat run cities the police are being ordered to stand down and allow crime and criminals to do what they will. If they intercede to stop crime, if they draw a weapon, they are severely disciplined or even fired. So is it any wonder they are closing their eyes and allowing criminals free reign? Why put their job and income at risk? It’s terrible. In some of these Democrat cities, the DA’s refuse to prosecute violent crime even if the police arrest the thugs. It’s terrible.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Gropin’ Joe polled higher than the lyin’ Yellow Stream Media that covers (for) him!
As Barack has always said, “Leave it to Joe to screw things up.”
Got your wish Barack.
I’ve become skeptical of all of it.
Ask the same question 50 ways for same results, from the banks up that list is slime..
A significant economic crash would create greater chaos and allow them to pick winners and losers. Do not put this past them
This poll, to the extent it is anywhere near an accurate reflection of the perceptions and levels of trust of the American people about the institutions listed, is telling At a number of levels beyond those that are highlighted in this post.
Significantly, the level of trust purportedly placed in the military and “law enforcement” (it would have been much more meaningful if Gallup had distinguished between local, state and federal agencies, and in particular the DoJ, DHS, FBI and ATF) suggests far too many Americans are laboring under very faulty assumptions.
I can only assume they are abysmally ignorant of the moral erosion in these institutions, especially over the last 30 years or so. Americans has largely lost contact with the military since the end of the draft (a huge mistake IMHO) in terms of the way it has been run by traitorous civilians and left-leaning senior generals and admirals (this is primarily a result of the Goldwater-Nichols “reforms” that basically turned senior uniformed policy makers into globalists with a definite lean to the left politically.
As for the DoJ, FBI, DHS and ATF, their unlawful actions (throughout these organizations and not just at the top as idiots like Sean Hannity contend), especially over the last 15 years speak for themselves.
It takes a few years for most people to unlearn the propaganda they’ve been steeped in since birth.
I have no idea how anything on that list except maybe small business isn’t ALL double digits with a few of them needing negative values.
Lets just hope and pray that people don’t fall for the Obama’s again! Joel Gilbert has made a documentary about Michelle Obama and he believes she is following the same formula that got BO elected. Yes, he believes she will run in 2024.

That is why there has to be a preemptive mockery of her “qualifications.” Can you imagine her in a debate where her opponent gets to ask the questions? How about a dramatic reading of her grad school dissertations?
The Reconfiguration of the Western World
“…
Global multipolarity fundamentally means freedom. Western people can now unload and liberate themselves from their self-imposed burden of imaginary superiority and refind their own souls and identities. The meaning of Operation Z is precisely freedom from that burden of hubris. And that means the end to the self-appointed exceptionalism, that is, self-justified arrogance, of what the future dustbin of history will remember as ‘the Western world’. It is time for the Western world to become just a number of nations, which fit in with and co-operate with the rest of the world, locally and internationally, and be like any other members of the global family.”

The Deep State loves the idea of a diminished presidency. They could have installed almost anyone besides Biden but went with him anyway, which is quite telling.
If you accept the 2020 election was rigged, you must accept the Democrat primaries were also rigged. They wanted an easily controlled puppet whose disastrous legacy wouldn’t tarnish the greater Democrat party’s brand in the long run.
The media seems to be slowly building a case for using the 25th Amendment.
The good news:
it’s not a presidency.
I used to get quite upset and even depressed at times when an institution I had trust in was found to be corrupt in some way. But God used it, and reinforced it in subsequent disappointments – that my hope, my faith, my trust, is to be in Him alone. He lets all these institutions crumble before our eyes so we will have nothing to grab onto but Him. And I have found great peace in doing so.
Very surprised that the confidence level is that high in the “medical system” based on the vast majority of it buying into the lies about the mRNA shots and their high use of remdesivir.
For myself, the confidence level is less than that for the dementia dork.
How did society collapse? Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.
Apologies to Hemingway.
Note that CONGRESS went from a dismal 12 down to an even worse SEVEN.
Completely understandable.
Overall looks like very abysmal ratings. My faith in polls however is in negative territory since JoeBama received 81 million votes in the most secure election in history. Or so I was misinformed by a media source with only an 11 percent confidence rating.
Pathetic that this once great nation has been laid low by the likes of a creep such as Obama.
“Gallup, American Confidence in
Office ofPresident Joe Biden Drops Dramatically in Last Year”Though most voting citizens never had confidence in Biden to begin with, I certainly didn’t. Maybe they are talking about the sycophant media?
Are all the Dominion servers still in place for the mid-terms?
The planted potus? That one?
Dangerous things can happen when unease and distrust exist….. Yes they can! Every time I read something about polls showing the asshat’s approval rating being so low I just laugh and say “like anyone in “power” cares about that”. People are wasting their time outlining this stuff. We all already know about this. The question is: what are we going to do about it and when?
Congress at 7% seems a little high…
I wish they would have broken “Police” down further and added in local, state, federal (FBI) I would bet local/state police would do much better but they are lumped in with the FBI DNC Gestapo, bringing the overall down.
Like the military, the police are filtering out any that are dedicated to defending the Constitutional rights of the citizens. The one’s left are likened to the Brown Shirts of Nazi Germany. This is the new Liberal World Order.
