Less than a quarter of the United States population has a positive opinion of the federal government, according to a new poll.
The Pew Research Center released a report Thursday from their American Trends Panel survey, citing changes in public perception of government at the local, state, and federal levels.
The survey found that only 22% of US adults have a favorable view of the federal government.

This rating, recorded at the end of 2023, marks a 10% decrease from the previous data from the end of 2022.
About 32% of Democrats and “Democratic-leaning independents” favor the federal government, according to Pew Research. This marks a 17-point drop in approval since May 2022.
Only 11% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents have a positive view of the federal government. This is on par with responses in 2022, but a marked drop from the 41% approval documented in 2019 under the Trump administration.

US adults who responded to the survey had less negative feelings toward state-level governance, according to Pew Research.
50% of respondents reported a favorable opinion of their state government, compared to 49% who reported an unfavorable view.
The poll found that about 61% of respondents reported a positive view of their local government. Pew reports that political party affiliation has less influence on local approval than state or federal.
