Suppose these people are at one end of the scale at point number 1. Other people have no confidence at all in the people running these institutions. Suppose these people are at the other end, at point 7. And, of course, other people have opinions somewhere in between at point 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. Where would you place yourself on this scale for . . . READ EACH ITEM, CODE ONE FOR EACH. REPEAT THE QUESTION AS NECESSARY. E. Executive branch of the federal government
