public opinion

While there’s less trust in the federal government compared to last year’s survey, the perception of the federal government workforce seems to be improving.

A new Ipsos/Reuters poll finds three in four voters say their cost of living is heading in the wrong direction. Nearly half of registered voters call it their top issue, regardless of party.

The public is “at odds with expert opinion and traditional policymaking,” says Eric Plutzer of the McCourtney Institute for Democracy.
