Scott Rasmussen's Number of the Day for May 26, 2020
The Number of the Day columns published on Ballotpedia reflect the views of the author.
May 26, 2020: When it comes to making decisions about re-opening, just 34 percent of voters trust government officials more than everyday Americans. That’s one reason why more voters—43 percent—place their trust in the general public.[1]
On the core issue of who do you trust, upper-income Americans, government employees, college graduates, and Democrats alike are all more comfortable with the government making sweeping decisions. The reverse is true for lower- and middle-income Americans, private-sector workers, retirees, those without a college degree, Republicans, and independents.[1]
