Poll: Public trust in Supreme Court more than twice as high as in government

A new poll from Reichman University’s Institute for Liberty & Responsibility reveals that public trust in the Supreme Court is more than twice as high as the public’s trust in the government.

The poll finds that the institution with the highest amount of public trust is the IDF at 65 percent, followed by the Supreme Court at 44%, the attorney general at 43%, the president at 42%, the state prosecutor at 32%, the police at 27%, the government at 17% and the Knesset at 11%.

The poll is released as ministers of the government lash out at the High Court of Justice for issuing an injunction freezing its firing of Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar.
