Democrats’ Confidence in Key Institutions at New Low: Gallup
UNITED STATES, JUL 17 – Gallup poll shows confidence in U.S. institutions remains below 30% for fourth year, with Republican confidence rising and Democratic confidence hitting record lows, experts say.
- A new Gallup poll shows Democratic confidence in key U.S. institutions has reached record lows while Republican confidence has sharply increased in 2025.
- This shift follows a yo-yo pattern tied to partisan polarization and changes in political power, with confidence falling steeply among Democrats since 2024.
- Republican confidence in the presidency rose 73 points to 80%, while Democrat confidence dropped 58 points to 3%, with military and police confidence showing similar partisan swings.
- Gallup reports that only three institutions—the small business sector, the military, and the scientific community—are viewed with confidence by more than half of Americans. In contrast, most other organizations, including higher education and Congress, do not have majority support.
- Experts say deep polarization harms societal trust and call for honest leaders with integrity to serve despite partisan divisions to restore public confidence.
