Approval Of The Federal Government Approaching Zero Percent

A major survey has revealed that American confidence in all three branches of government have reached record lows. As I read these numbers to you, I will be placing articles supporting the general mood of the country. These articles are from today. The 2014 General Social Survey has mined the political climate for 40 years. Only 23 percent of Americans have a great deal of confidence in the Supreme Court, a meager 11 percent in the executive branch and a pitifully dismal 5% of Americans have a great deal of confidence in Congress.

American Confidence in The Supreme Court is reaching a record 40 year low. 2 in 10 have zero confidence in the Supreme Court.

Just 3 percent of Republicans have confidence in the President. While Democrats have dropped from 25 percent in 2010 to 18 percent in 2014.

And Congress….well Congress is a sick joke to most Americans. Confidence was almost non existent. With 7 percent of Democrats, 5% Of Independents and 3% Of Republicans with a great deal of confidence.

45 years ago, 25% of Americans expressed a great deal of confidence in the press. Now 7 percent of Americans have confidence while 44 percent have no confidence at all. And 1 American in 10 has confidence in television.

A recent Gallup poll Named Government as the Number One problem in the United States. America’s frustration with our back door dealing, entitled, and detached elected leaders is reaching a breaking point. Jon Bowne rolls out the numbers.
