New Poll Shows Big Pharma and Feds Among Most Hated Institutions in America
According to a recent Gallup pollpublished this week, the pharmaceutical industry is one of the most
hated industries in the United States. Also topping the list are the
federal government and the oil company cartels.
The numbers revealed that 43% of those surveyed had negative views of
the “Big Pharma” while just 35% had positive views. Negative views
increased while positive views decreased from reported responses to the
same questions last year.
“This leaves the industry with a negative net-positive rating of -8 in 2015,” explained Gallup’s Jim Norman.
Norman added that the pharmaceutical industry is “now rated one of
the worst industries.” “The slide in net-positive ratings for the
pharmaceutical industry, from +4 to -8, places it among the lowest-rated
industries, which include the legal field (-5), the healthcare industry
(-6), the oil and gas industry (-13) and the federal government, which
comes in dead last (-29),” he said.
