Your fellow Americans aren’t so trusting: Faith in one another at lowest level in 4 decades
– canadianbusiness.com
WASHINGTON – You can take our word for it. Americans don’t trust each other anymore.
We’re not talking about the loss of faith in big institutions such as the government, the church or Wall Street, which fluctuates with events. For four decades, a gut-level ingredient of democracy — trust in the other fellow — has been quietly draining away.
These days, only one-third of Americans say most people can be trusted. Half felt that way in 1972, when the General Social Survey first asked the question.
Forty years later, a record high of nearly two-thirds say “you can’t be too careful” in dealing with people.
An AP-GfK poll conducted last month found that Americans are suspicious of each other in everyday encounters. Less than one-third expressed a lot of trust in clerks who swipe their credit cards, drivers on the road, or people they meet when travelling.

Do you keep a close watch when you hand over your credit card?
Assume the other fellow on the road is texting or drunk?
Worry that a careless post will be spread by your Facebook friends?
If so, you’re not alone.
Americans are a mistrustful bunch.
Nearly two-thirds say you can’t be too careful in dealing with people, according to the General Social Survey, a massive survey of Americans conducted regularly since 1972 with funding from the National Science Foundation.
To find out more, an Associated Press-GfK poll asked Americans how much they trust others in everyday situations.
___
STRANGER DANGER
—78 per cent have little faith in people they meet while travelling, saying they trust them “just somewhat,” ”not too much” or “not at all.”
—19 per cent don’t worry — they feel “quite a bit” or “a great deal” of trust in people away from home.
Adults under 30 are especially wary of strangers, just like mom said…
