The 2017 Barometer, based on 25-minute online interviews with 1,850 respondents drawn from a sampling of more than 33,000 respondents, found the “largest drop ever” in trust in government, business, media and NGOs.
Trust in media fell precipitously to 43% and is at all-time lows in 17 countries, while trust levels in government, at 41%, dropped in 14 markets and is the least trusted institution in half of the 28 countries surveyed, said Edelman.
