Trust Differs Most by Ideology for Church, Police, Presidency

[damnedifIknow]

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In the U.S., liberals and conservatives report markedly different levels of confidence in nearly every key institution Gallup measures, reflecting the general polarization that typifies the country today. The confidence gap -- the difference between groups in levels of confidence for a particular institution -- is largest for the presidency (by 36 percentage points), followed by the church (27 points) and the police (26 points). Liberals have more confidence in the presidency, while conservatives are more likely to trust the church and the police."
