Do men have more trust in social institutions than women?

We surveyed people to find out. Here are our results.

#politics #gender #trust Image
In 2020, we asked 1401 men and women how much they trusted:

– News Media
– Political Officials
– Hospitals & Doctors
– Educational Institutions

The most trusted on average was Hospitals & Doctors..

Political Officials was least trusted overall. Image
We compared men and women's average scores across all social institutions.

We found that, in 2020, Democratic and Republican women both reported lower trust than their male counterparts. Image
Why might this gender difference exist?

Do you think the difference has shrank or grown since 2020?

We'd love to hear your thoughts!

+2 = max tolerance.
-2 = max intolerance. Image
We found that D's and R's were tolerant of each other, on average. There was no statistically significant difference in tolerance between D's and R's in either 2019 or 2020. Image

What impacts a political party's level of infighting? We asked Democrats and Republicans how they felt about the parties in 2019 and 2020. How did the events of those years impact party unity? Here's what we found. 🧵 #politics Image
We asked two samples, one in Fall 2019 and another in Fall 2020, which political group held views most opposed to their own. In our '19 survey, we found that Dems were almost as opposed to their OWN party as they were to the Rep party (top right). Image
~55% of Reps in '19 agreed the Dem Party held the most opposed views. That decreased to ~41% in '20. Which events do you think drove these changes? A lot happened between Fall 2019 and Fall 2020. Image
