Poll: Carter most trusted politician; Matt Lauer least trusted network newsie
The Washington Examiner ^ | 7 May 13 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 05/07/2013 12:04:00 PM PDT by seanmerc

Former President Jimmy Carter stands head and shoulders above other American politicians -- including President Obama -- in a new Reader's Digest poll of the 100 most trusted people in America that also suggests the problems dogging "Today Show" co-host Matt Lauer have nicked his integrity.

The new poll, provided to Secrets, proves that Washington has fallen out of favor in America. The four most trusted Americans are in show business. No. 1 is Tom Hanks, followed by Sandra Bullock, Denzel Washington and Meryl Streep.

The first Washingtonian on the list is first lady Michelle Obama at No. 19. Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright lands at 23, followed by Carter at 24. President Obama landed the No. 65 spot, behind Hillary Clinton, who was No. 51.

Remember Groucho Marx’s comment about declining to join any club willing to admit him?

In the same fashion, this reinforces my desire not to associate with any pollster that would lump me with such lame-brains. My country has existed for centuries without needing pollsters, my religion for millennia and this earth for eons.

As far as I am concerned, majority opinion just gives you company on the road to ruin!

LMAO @ all of it.

I like celebrations and I look forward to the fair and lawful public hangings of the criminal morons that infest this once great country.

Reader’s Digest is for people without the attention span to read to whole book.

HEY! It's a good bathroom mag.

I found Richard Nixon to be more trustworthy than the peanut farmer.

Bill Clinton did not appear so he is untrusted. Bush was maligned in the press so much he did not make it. Liberals hate Reagan. Carter, time wounds all heals.
