Business & Medical System Sí; President & Congress, No

Gallup has released their Confidence In Institutions poll.

Here are some of the results for 2010, as compared to last year:

Big Business +3
Medical System +4

The Presidency -15
Congress -6

Fran Smith writes:
What I think is more interesting, however, is that the main institutional targets of President Obama’s and the Democratic Congress’ recents attacks and draconian laws gained in confidence in this year’s poll. The Administration’s demonization of the health care system didn’t seem to resonate with the public. In this year’s poll, the medical system ranked as number five in overall confidence, up 4 points from last year. Banks and big business - also the targets of the Administration’s ire, were up one and three points, respectively, in the 2010 poll. With these kinds of polling results, the Dems are right to be running scared.

And oh yes, Congress continues to rank last in public confidence at 11%.
