This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Who are these people who do not have confidence in the criminal justice system but do have confidence in the police?

Oh yeah, fascists.

Why don't all the rows have the same length? Did fewer people answer the question about newspapers than about banks?

That would be weird, since the graph is about percentages and not absolute numbers. But it would also be weird if there is a 'hidden' answer which comes down to 'i dont know' or 'i dont want to answer'.

This poll was taken June of 2024. I wonder if things have changed since then.

When you drop below cable companies, you really need to step back and take a look at your life.

The one thing that gives hope about this graph is that people have so little trust in Congress. Democracy doesn't work unless you mistrust elected officials.

Mmm, that juicy sour sarcasm.

Yeah, but this poll was from Gallup—who trusts them?
