A new Fox News poll reports that public trust in the federal government is at its lowest level in more than two decades. The survey finds that 25% of registered voters say they “generally trust” the federal government, while 57% say they generally do not trust it. Nearly two-thirds of voters also express dissatisfaction with the direction of the country, indicating low confidence in how the government is handling national issues. The poll is presented as evidence of a broader decline in trust compared with earlier years, with respondents reflecting widespread skepticism toward federal institutions. Across the reported results, the main themes are low confidence in federal leadership and institutions, and a lack of satisfaction with the country’s current direction. The findings are based on the Fox News poll released Wednesday, and the overall takeaway is that trust levels have fallen to historically low levels, according to the polling data cited by the reporting outlets.
