Most Trusted Profession
Every year I'm fascinated to see just how stable public trust is in the occupations in the public's eye. Yet to see the media listen to the commentators on radio and television, you'd think that trust in institutions is declining sharply. To listen to them, you'd think that nobody trusts anybody anymore. They are wrong: there has been no general decline in trust over the past two decades, as shown over nearly a quarter of a century, by our surveys, initially done in 1983 for the Sunday Times and this year sponsored by the Royal College of Physicians.
