Among polled, Poles prove a fairly trusting lot

It turns out that Poles trust teachers, soldiers and doctors most. These professional groups were similarly popular in Europe in general, as well as in the US. Only 23% of Poles trust managers, which is similar to the results of 18% and 26% observed in Germany and Greece. However, Poles trust journalists more than other nations, with 61% expressing trust, while in other countries the figure stands at roughly 35%. The least trust in journalists was expressed by the British - 20%, Italians - 26% and Swedes - 30%. According to GfK's research, the most trust for journalists is observed in countries where media are key in revealing corruption. Pole's trust in police, standing at roughly 65%, and in priests, at roughly 60%, is roughly similar to the trust these groups receive in other European countries. (Rzeczpospolita, pp.A1, A3) M.M.
