Via Rasmussen:
Democrats strongly trust the president more than Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court, while Republicans and unaffiliated voters have mixed feelings about all three branches of the federal government.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 33% of all Likely U.S. Voters trust the president most. Twenty-three percent (23%) trust the Supreme Court more, while just 15% put their faith in Congress. Twenty-nine percent (29%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
The partisan breakdown is really no surprise. Sixty-three percent (63%) of Democrats trust the president the most, but just 11% of Republicans and 20% of unaffiliateds agree. Among GOP voters, 28% trust the Supreme Court the most, while 27% feel that way about Congress. Ask voters not affiliated with either of the major parties which branch of the government they trust most, and it’s 16% for Congress and 25% for the Supreme Court.
