The other day, curious about the impact of such attacks on public opinion, we put a very simple poll in the field using Google Surveys. It asked one question, polled between December 5-7: \u201cHow Much Confidence Do You Have in the FBI?<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

The answer was striking:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The average confidence rating for the FBI in this poll measured in at 3.34. That\u00a0compares favorably<\/a>\u00a0to any other institution we poll on, save the military, which had an average confidence score of 3.78.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have no idea if Google Surveys are trustworthy, but I still will heave a sigh of relief on this report. If these attacks on the non-partisan institutions of our government were to cause them to crumble, we’d be facing chaos that results in blood and possible dissolution.<\/p>\n

So this appears to be good news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
