Everyone who took part in this survey is a member of Pew Research Center\u2019s American Trends Panel (ATP), an online survey panel that is recruited through national, random sampling of residential addresses. This way nearly all U.S. adults have a chance of selection. The survey is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population by gender, race, ethnicity, partisan affiliation, education and other categories.

Notably, while more than half of adults under 30 (55%) say the government has a responsibility to provide Americans with a college education, that falls to 43% among those ages 30 to 49 and to 35% among those 50 to 64. Only about two-in-ten adults 65 and older (21%) say this is the responsibility of the federal government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On average, lower-income, Black, Hispanic, Asian and younger adults designate more of the seven items included in this survey as responsibilities of the federal government than do higher-income, White and older adults. While adults ages 18 to 34, on average, say 4.8 out of the seven should be responsibilities of the federal government, this average decreases steadily with age \u2013 with those 65 and older naming an average of 3.5 items. And lower-income adults indicate an average of 4.9 of the listed items should be provided by the federal government for all Americans, compared with an average of 3.7 among upper-income adults. White adults select an average of 3.7 items, compared with an average of around 5 items among Black (5.4), Hispanic (5.1) and Asian adults (4.9).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While these patterns by income, race and ethnicity, and age are seen within both partisan coalitions, the gaps are substantially wider among Republicans than they are among Democrats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lower-income Republicans indicate it is the government\u2019s responsibility to provide an average of 4.1 of the seven items. By contrast, middle-income Republicans select an average of 2.6, while upper-income Republicans see an average of just 2.2 of the seven as the government\u2019s responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hispanic Republicans see an average of 3.9 of these items as responsibilities of the federal government, while White Republicans identify an average of 2.6 as responsibilities of the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, while Republican adults under the age of 35 say an average of 3.7 of these items are responsibilities of the federal government, Republicans 65 and older view only about half as many items (2.0 of the seven) as the federal government\u2019s responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This pattern is seen across each of the individual items. For instance, while about three-quarters of Republicans under age 35 (76%) say a high-quality K-12 education is the responsibility of the federal government, only about half of those 65 and older (51%) say this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among Democrats there also are income, racial and ethnic, and age differences in these views, though they are considerably less pronounced. Overall, Democrats say an average of 5.4 of these seven items should be a responsibility of the government to provide for all Americans. And Democrats under 35 view an average of 5.6 of these as government\u2019s responsibility, compared with an average of 4.9 among Democrats 65 and older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On several of these items there are only slight \u2013 or no \u2013 differences in the shares of Democrats across income, race and age groups who view each as a responsibility; however, there are wider divides on the question of whether the federal government has a responsibility to provide a college education to all Americans. About seven-in-ten lower-income Democrats (68%) say the government has this responsibility, compared with 32% of upper-income Democrats. There is also a substantial age gap among Democrats on this issue, with younger Democrats more likely to say the government has a responsibility to provide a college education to all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-block-prc-block-chapter\" id=\"public-trust-in-government-remains-low\">Public trust in government remains low<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While trust in the federal government among both Republicans and Democrats remains low compared with previous decades, there has been some movement among partisans over the last year. As in the past, partisans who are associated with the party holding the presidency are more likely to say they trust the federal government than those who are affiliated with the opposing party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, just 9% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say they trust the federal government to do what is right at least most of the time. This is roughly on par with GOP trust in government throughout the Obama administration, though considerably lower than the roughly three-in-ten Republicans who expressed trust in government last year, during the Trump administration\u2019s last year in office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-640-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/politics\/2021\/05\/17\/americans-see-broad-responsibilities-for-government-little-change-since-2019\/pp_2021-05-17_scope-of-government_00-09-png\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-58882\"><img data-dominant-color=\"eeece9\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #eeece9;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/05\/PP_2021.05.17_scope-of-government_00-09.png?resize=480,395 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/05\/PP_2021.05.17_scope-of-government_00-09.png?resize=782,644 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/05\/PP_2021.05.17_scope-of-government_00-09.png?resize=960,791 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/05\/PP_2021.05.17_scope-of-government_00-09.png?resize=1200,988 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/05\/PP_2021.05.17_scope-of-government_00-09.png?resize=1280,1054 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"527\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2021\/05\/PP_2021.05.17_scope-of-government_00-09.png?w=640\" alt=\"Chart shows trust in government has fluctuated, but no more than about a third of Democrats or Republicans have expressed trust in government in more than a decade\" class=\"wp-image-58882 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In contrast, Democrats and Democratic leaners now express more trust in government than they did last year.
