Recommended
Trust in the federal government has declined in recent decades, mostly vanishing among those who do not support the president's party.
Views that the federal government has too much power are now slightly higher than in previous years.
Americans continue to prefer having leaders in Washington who compromise to get things done over those who stand firmly on principle.
Marco Rubio, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Hakeem Jeffries are among a few of the key U.S. political figures Americans rate more positively than negatively.
