Matter of Trust: Americans trust supermarkets more than hospitals, and just about everyone more than health insurance companies and managed care companies:
While no industries were mentioned by majorities as being generally honest and trustworthy ("so that you would normally believe a statement by a company in that industry"), results varied widely among the different industries. At the top end, relatively large numbers trust supermarkets (40%), banks (35%), hospitals (34%), computer hardware companies (27%), packaged food companies (23%), and computer software companies (22%).
On the other hand, only very few people believe that tobacco companies (3%), managed care companies (4%), oil companies (4%), and health insurance companies (7%) are generally honest and trustworthy. (thanks to Howard Fienberg for the tip.)
