Gallup polls Americans on their confidence in American institutions, publishing results every summer (see 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021).

The number of Americans who report a "great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in newspapers has declined from an all-time high of 51% in 1979 to 17% in 2025, the second lowest score after 2022's rating of 16%.

Will Gallup polling show a decline (i.e. 16% or less) in Americans' confidence in newspapers in 2026?
