Colorado voters are not feeling very trusting of the government β or the media.
Why it matters: A new poll from Magellan Strategies shows the state's trust in federal and local government ranks the lowest.
- When compared to separate national Gallup polling, Colorado appears more distrustful than America as a whole.
The big picture: The survey comes after a year in which the government and media figured prominently in people's lives, from pandemic health orders to the 2020 election.
- Democrats and unaffiliated voters "were appalled with the Trump administration's management of the federal government," said pollster David Flaherty.
- Republicans "feel the government is rigged and run by liberal bureaucrats who stole the election," he added.
