Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to several surveys and polls, Americans' trust in their government has declined sharply since the 1960s. For example, in 1964, almost 80% of Americans trusted their government to do what is right always or most of the time. However, by the early 2010s, only around 20% of Americans felt the same way. This decline in trust can be attributed to several factors, including political scandals, polarization, and political gridlock, among others.
