10 Most Dishonest Professions in America

9. State Officeholders

Percentage of people with very low/low opinion: 37%

2013 ratings state that 13% of people have very low opinion of state officeholders, while 24% have a low opinion of them. 46% of Americans have an average opinion on the matter, and only 12% and 2% of them have high or very high opinions of their state officials respectively. Politicians never really enjoyed American people’s trust, and things are rarely different in other parts of the world too. This is a thing that just goes with the job, and there’s either very little they can do, or they just aren’t trying enough. If they don’t want to or think that they don’t need to change the public perception of them, state officeholders don’t even deserve better.
