COLUMBUS -- Fewer than three in ten people (26%) trust the government to do the right thing always or most of the time.
Those are the results of recent study from the Pew Research Center.
The study also shows 76% of conservative Republicans regard the government as a threat to their personal rights and freedoms.
The study was conducted during the last two years of the Bush presidency and the first term of the Obama presidency.
