Gallup: Respect for Police Nears All-Time High
(CNSNews.com) - The percentage of Americans who say they have a “great deal” of respect for the police in their area has climbed to 76 percent—just one percentage point shy of the all-time high of 77 percent recorded 49 years ago, according to a Gallup poll released today [1].
Respect for the police has increased over the past year among Americans of differing racial groups, ideologies, political affiliations and age, according to data published in a Gallup analysis [1].
Since 1965, Gallup has asked this question nine times [2]: “How much respect do you have for the police in your area—a great deal, some, or hardly none?”
