The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Gallup confidence poll, part 2

by @ 7:59 on June 21, 2007. Filed under Miscellaneous.

If you’re either a night owl or an early bird, you may have heard me reference the 2007 Gallup Confidence in Institutions poll. The 2007 analysis is now up, and my suspicion of a cynical trend is right. First, the full 2007 numbers of those having a “great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence:
– The military, down to 69% from 73% in 2006
– Small business, a “new” institution debuting at 59%
– The police, down to 54% from 58%
– Church/organized religion, down to 46% from 52%
– Banks, down to 41% from 49%
– SCOTUS, down to 34% from 40%
– Public schools, down to 33% from 37%
– The medical system, down to 31% from 38%
– The Presidency, down to 25% from 33%
– Television news, down to 23% from 31%
– Newspapers, down to 22% from 30%
– The criminal justice system, down to 19% from 25%
– Organized labor, down to 19% from 24%
– Big business, unchanged from 2006 at 18%
– HMOs, unchanged from 2006 at 15%
– Congress, down to 14% from 19%

Next, something they didn’t do this year, but did last year, the full history of the trend:

Damn, but I thought the DhimmiRATs were supposed to fix everything. I mean, they run Congress, run the media, run the unions, and run the schools; yet those institutions took some of the hardest hits.
