Somewhere between the police and the pollsters sits the legal profession, with zero net trust.
That figure comes from Visual Capitalist’s chart of the 2026 Ipsos Global Trustworthiness Index, which asks people in 31 countries whether they find each of a few dozen professions trustworthy or untrustworthy and nets the two. Doctors come out at plus 43. Scientists and teachers are close behind. Judges and the police sit at plus five. Then us, at precisely nothing, one notch above pollsters at minus two and TV news anchors at minus three.
