While 73% of Americans have at least 'a fair amount' of trust in scientists to 'act in the best interests of the public,' that's down from 86% in 2019.
It's particularly pronounced among Republicans, with 38% saying they have 'not too much' or 'no confidence at all' in scientists.
Still, the share of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents with a great deal of confidence in scientists - which initially rose in the pandemic's first year - now stands at 37%.
