Around 48% of Americans said they have a 'great deal' or 'quite a lot' of confidence in police, down from 53% the previous year, Gallup reported

Americans' confidence in police has hit a new low -- aided in large part by a growing gap between Black and White people about how much they trust officers.

Around 48% of Americans said they have a"great deal" or"quite a lot" of confidence in police, down from 53% the previous year, according to a new Gallup poll. The poll, released Wednesday, was conducted in the weeks after George Floyd's killing in May, which mobilized thousands of protesters to march against police brutality and racism.

Wow, with the media narrative about police being 90% negative, whoda thunk it?

Great job CNNFakeNews Your fervor in attempting to foment unrest, fear and division in America is working. Well done. You are succeeding in your drive to become the state propaganda agency. AmericanProvda

Just wait until JoeBiden and KamalaHarris defund/demolish the police. Confidence will drop to about 3%.

💥Yes some Americans are now into lawlessness and anarchy!

Because of democrats and their corrupt media arm spewing lies and hate

It is time to conduct similar polls to assess (un) popularity of police in all provinces plus A K & GB & also Federal Capital thru some independent and transparent agency. Not the Pakistani style engineered gallup.

This season of Watchmen has been the most depressing yet.

I have none .whens the last time u seen cops pull someone over to help them ? Its either to give u a ticket or arrest someone. An theydont want to defund there cash cow . The justice system is the states cash cow. they want to keep the things the way they are ?

When will you start reporting the killings in Nigeria? The people that have confidence in all the security forces in Nigeria are less than 2% of the population. Our police stations close in the evening cos of security reasons. The Fulani terrorists are in power and you’re quiet

CNN nothing but the truth 😂🤣😂

Why it is reduced?

Do the uniforms remind you of a tv series on HBO? The same series where I learned about the Tulsa massacre... scary that these pictures mimic our reality. That's the point, isn't it? Desensitize the public into not knowing real from fake BidenHarris

The world's confidence in YOU, fall at the lowest Level EVER! YOU ARE DEAD AND TAKE ALL LIARS WITH YOU!

According to the poll, around 81% of American have some kind of confidence in the police. CNN, please don't do a reporting like this. I don't think you are fake News, but you are clearly and blatantly pushing a propaganda here.

It’s all a joke.

I wonder if the media has anything to do with that

Still too high. ACAB

They are killing the american citizens right on the side of the road at their own convenience.

Defund USPS... they’re inept, incompetent, and lazy. Privatize USPS. FedEx and UPS operate without our tax dollars. . USPS FedEx UPS

The number should be much closer to 0% as things are now.

Do the poll again. It's wayyyy lower. This must be pre June.

How could it not be? Most media has overwhelmingly painted law enforcement in a horrible light. Good luck with those social workers

Pool country!

Bull.....sh!+!!
