Public trust in the German state fell sharply, reaching significant lows recently. The latest eGovernment Monitor findings revealed a dramatic dip in governmental trust percentages.
Just a few years ago, higher confidence levels in the government were recorded.
Beyond state trust, confidence in public institutions has declined for many respondents. Police remain the most trusted, while judiciary and courts command moderate confidence rates.
Political trust varies: municipal levels rate higher than state or federal institutions significantly. Survey engaged German residents online, sampling varied ages and regional representations proportionally.
