Eighty-four percent of Americans view the Postal Service favorably, according to a new Pew Research Center poll.
Eighty-four percent of respondents view USPS favorably, ranking it highest on a list of 17 federal agencies. Rounding out the top five: the National Park Service (viewed favorably by 75 percent), the Centers for Disease Control (71 percent), NASA (70 percent) and the FBI (68 percent).
The findings, released Nov. 23, are based on interviews with 6,000 individuals that represent a sampling of the nation. The results align with similar surveys, including a Gallup poll in May that found that public is overwhelmingly satisfied with mail delivery, ranking it higher than any other government service.
Pewâs findings on the Postal Service are part of a broader poll on the publicâs trust in government.
â[M]ost Americans give government good ratings in a number of areas,â Pewâs analysts wrote.
Half or more say the government is doing a âvery goodâ or âsomewhat goodâ job in 10 areas, including responding to natural disasters and setting workplace standards.
