Gallup poll

the rules for proper government communication violates federal law can lead to criminal charges, as the Benghazi email server committee shows. If these problems reduce people’s trust in government, negative perceptions are shown in polls. Only 19% of those polled by Gallup in 2009 said they regularly trusted the government, compared to 60% in 2002 (Trust in Government, 2016).

This theory that God created the world and all life within it. At this point in time, Evolution has dominated our curriculum, it is the process by which living organisms evolve and adapt (“Introduction”)…

Personally we should not try to prevent other races from joining in on imperative decision making events, like “in 1997, Gallup conducted a survey on race relations in America, but the poll was concerned only with white and black Americans (¶3).” As you can see from this quote just how far many Americans will go to block other races from being part of many crucial moments in America. We –we as residents…

most Americans had trust in the country and government; however, statistics show that the majority count has decreased (Poladian 1). Poladian expresses, “By 2013, Americans' trust in their government had fallen to 19 percent, according to Pew. A Gallup poll from 2014 placed that number around 24 percent. That distrust has continued at a low level” (1). The discomfort created by the attack is one aspect, but the aftermath of the tragedy is another. The major split between two political parties…

The 1980 Election and the Polarization of America Many people consider the 1980 presidential election to be one of the most influential in american history. The incumbent Carter didn’t have high approval ratings near the end of his presidency, but it seemed to have little effect on the polling, which Carter lead until November. Reagan won in a surprise victory rivaling even the 2016 election with its unexpected result. However, the 1980 election had a bigger impact than just deciding who would…

The poor minorities of society are expected to be more severely impacted by the effects of climate change; generally, these minorities are less educated and geographically displaced in already problematic and polluted areas.

The American people have a very clear idea of what terrorism looks like. What we also have a clear idea of is what reactions to terrorism typically look like. Terrorism is not a new phenomenon, and it has repeatedly led to the same end: politicians and policy makers using the public’s fear for its safety to push their own agendas. The recent terror attacks in Paris provide the American people with a chance to spark a new conversation about terrorism, and hopeful presidential candidates with an…

In the world there are two kinds of people; the Marauder and the victim. Long since has society taught us that we are to be the victim. Not because we are an submissive people, but because the in the stories victim never has a full grasp of the evils that and ensuing. However people like Martin Luther King Jr.and the many (but all necessary) Black Lives Matter Activists, have shown everyday people how to break the government issued mold, and become the Marauder. Black Lives Matter protests…

reduce railroad rates for consumers and small producers to an agency that cooperated with railroads to reduce competition and even forestall further regulation exposes the shortcomings of interest groups, accountable representation. A Fortune farm poll taken some years ago found that 70.5 percent of farmers belonged to no agricultural organizations. A similar conclusion was reached…

Legalize Amerijuana I’m blameworthy doing something “illegal” in eyes of the law, but accepted by so many Americans. The few times I smoked marijuana, I felt ashamed, guilty and rebellious. Why did I feel that way? Is it because the U.S government label the usage of marijuana “illegal” and I was breaking the law or is it because the stigma of marijuana not being socially accepted. In the Rolling Stone Magazine interview by Jann S. Wenner, President Barack Obama has discouraged the substance…
