Less than 1 in 4 Americans have favorable opinion of federal government: poll

Only 22% of U.S. adults have a favorable view of the United States federal government, marking a 10% drop since 2022, according to a Pew Research Center survey.

This rating, recorded at the end of 2023, marks a 10% drop from the previous data from the end of 2022.

Approximately 32% of Democrats and "Democratic-leaning independents" view the federal government favorably, according to Pew Research. This marks a 17-point drop in approval since May 2022.

Only 11% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents hold a positive view of the federal government. This is on par with 2022 responses, but a marked drop from 41% approval documented in 2019 under the Trump administration.
