May 29, 2019: Sixty percent (60%) of voters nationwide believe that the power of the federal government is a bigger threat to the United States than the power of large corporations. A ScottRasmussen.com survey found that 40% hold the opposite view and see corporate power as a bigger threat.[1]

Women, by a 66% to 34% margin, are more worried about the federal government. Men are more evenly divided.

Still, while corporate power is less feared than the federal government, just 23% of voters trust large corporations to do the right thing most of the time. Thirty-eight percent (38%) rarely or never trust them. These numbers suggest a modestly higher level of trust in corporations than in the federal government.[2] Voters do, however, have somewhat higher levels of trust in state and local governments.[3]
