Have you learned anything about the majority of modern politicians?

I don't know about the survey you are referencing, but I don't know anyone that trusts CEOs more than gov officials. Most that I know don't really trust either, but do tend to be more respecting of government institutions.

Personally, I'm not trusting of either anymore. Too many bad decisions and willingness to cater to political expedience. Or corrupt actions that aren't even really trying to hide the shiftiness anymore.
