A Gallup poll conducted from June 1 to June 15, 2026, found that just 27 percent of 1,001 American respondents reported having either a great deal of confidence or average confidence in 14 core U.S. institutions. This figure places public trust near an all-time low.

The survey highlights ongoing concerns about the state of institutional trust in the United States, reflecting a significant challenge for governance and public policy.
