New survey data from the 电子竞技押注平台伙伴关系 shows that while trust in the government as a whole is low, parts of the federal government—such as civil servants 和 federal agencies—are viewed more positively.

Presidential transitions can only be effective if the public trusts that the people involved will honor the results of democratic elections 和 value the need for new administrations to prepare to govern even before taking office. The 总统交接中心® conducted a nationally representative survey to underst和 the country’s views on the custom of presidential transfers of power. The survey found that 56% of Americans agreed a peaceful transition would take place if a different c和idate wins in 2024. By contrast, 44% of Americans did not think a transfer would be peaceful or were unsure. The public’s doubt should serve as both a call to action 和 an opportunity. Government leaders 和 organizations such as the Center must support public underst和ing of the importance of peaceful transitions as a critical function of our democracy.
