Gallup has found that Americans’ confidence in their nation’s judicial system and courts dropped to a record-low 35% in 2024.
"The result further sets the U.S. apart from other wealthy nations, where a majority, on average, still expresses trust in an institution that relies largely on the public’s confidence to protect its authority and independence," Gallup says.
Gallup continues: "Since 2020, confidence in the courts across the other OECD( (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries has been stable, while the U.S. has seen a sharp decline -- 24 percentage points -- in the past four years. The resulting 20-point gap in confidence between the U.S. and the median of OECD nations in 2024 is the largest in the Gallup trend, which dates to 2006."
"24 percentage points, in the last 4 years."
