What happened, for context

A poll by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and USAFacts found that majorities of Americans express little or no trust in federal government information about elections and politics, foreign affairs, and the environment. Only 34% of U.S. adults trust government certifications of election results, down from 40% in 2024. Trust in government information has become more partisan since Trump's first term.
