A new analysis shows that trust in scientific expertise among the American public remained high during the last six decades and that the Trump administration attacks on scientific expertise did not modify the basic confidence of Americans in science and scientific expertise.

The study, "Citizen attitudes toward science and technology, 1957–2020: Measurement, stability, and the Trump challenge," was published in the journal Science and Public Policy.

So a scientific study finds that people still trust science, and your reaction is to disbelieve that study based on your personal feelings.

Ironic.

I'm sorry for being surprised?

Surprise is not the same as doubt.

You must be fun at parties.

This is not a party. It's a discussion about science. You didn't expect the participants to be methodical?
