NEA in Middle of the Pack of Trusted DC Groups
Harris released its annual poll last week that seeks to determine which Washington, DC interest groups are most trusted and most powerful.
The American Red Cross ranked at the top of the trust standings, with 86% of respondents saying they trusted the organization “a great deal” or “a fair amount.” The least trusted was the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) at 37% – just below the AFL-CIO, at 38%.
NEA finished 7th out of the 12 organizations listed, with a 62% trust rating, down 5 points from last year.
When asked “How much power within Washington, DC do you believe these organizations have?” the AFL-CIO topped the list, with 90% saying the federation had “a great deal” or “a fair amount” of power. NEA finished 5th in this category, at 79%, up 5 points from last year.
Viewing the two together, it seems in DC the more powerful you are, the less trusted you are.
