This share is down 8 percentage points since November 2021 and down 16 points since before the start of the coronavirus outbreak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About a third (34%) now say the impact of science on society has been equally positive as negative. A small share (8%) think science has had a mostly negative impact on society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"trust-in-scientists\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trust in scientists<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to the standing of scientists, 73% of U.S. adults have a great deal or fair amount of confidence in scientists to act in the public\u2019s best interests. But trust in scientists is 14 points lower than it was at the early stages of the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The share expressing the strongest level of trust in scientists \u2013 saying they have a <em>great deal<\/em> of confidence in them \u2013 has fallen from 39% in 2020 to 23% today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As trust in scientists has fallen, distrust has grown: Roughly a quarter of Americans (27%) now say they have not too much or no confidence in scientists to act in the public\u2019s best interests, up from 12% in April 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ratings of <em>medical<\/em> scientists mirror the trend seen in ratings of scientists generally.

They are also more likely to say human activity contributes to climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, scientific leaders are concerned that differences in levels of trust by things like party identification, race and ethnicity, and education could contribute to the benefits of science being spread unevenly across society.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Center survey of 8,842 U.S. adults conducted Sept. 25-Oct. 1, 2023, finds that, despite recent declines in ratings, scientists and medical scientists continue to be held in high regard compared with other prominent groups in society. Smaller shares of Americans express confidence in business leaders, religious leaders, journalists and elected officials to act in the public\u2019s best interests. As with scientists, most of these groups have seen their ratings decline in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Americans have expressed <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2023\/09\/19\/public-trust-in-government-1958-2023\/\">low trust in federal government<\/a> and other institutions, like Congress, for decades. And <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2014\/06\/12\/political-polarization-in-the-american-public\/\">political polarization<\/a> \u2013 the widening gap between the views of Republicans and Democrats across a broad range of issues and attitudes \u2013 has come to be a dominant feature of American political life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"differences-between-republicans-and-democrats-in-ratings-of-scientists-and-science\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Differences between Republicans and Democrats in ratings of scientists and science<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Declining levels of trust in scientists and medical scientists have been particularly pronounced among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents over the past several years. In fact,<strong> nearly four-in-ten Republicans (38%) now say they have <em>not too much<\/em> or <em>no confidence at all<\/em> in scientists<\/strong> to act in the public\u2019s best interests. This share is up dramatically from the 14% of Republicans who held this view in April 2020.
