January 21, 2010 (AUSTIN, Texas) — One year into Barack Obama’s presidency, public trust in government is exactly where it was as he assumed office, while trust in business has increased over the past twelve months, according to the latest Public Strategies Public Trust Monitor. The results of the quarterly survey for Q1 2010 reveal that the public still trusts government (56%) more than business (43%) to do what is right. However, just 40% of Americans believe things in the federal government are headed in the right direction, while 55% say things in business are headed in the right direction.
