Published by ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Research Department, Oct 11, 2024

It seems the level of trust in government by race varies significantly depending on who is in power, with the share of Black people in the U.S. who trust their government always or most of the time increasing to ** percent in a May 2024 survey. This compares to a high of ** percent in October 2011. These extremes correspond with the Biden and Obama presidencies, respectively.
