Gallup: Distrust in Executive Branch Nearing Nixon-Watergate Levels

Gallup: Distrust in Executive Branch Nearing Nixon-Watergate Levels: A new Gallup poll finds Americans' distrust in the Executive Branch just three points shy of the all-time low rating just months prior to President Richard Nixon's resignation.

"After a sharp drop from last year, trust in the executive branch is the lowest it has been during President Barack Obama's tenure, at 43%," reports Gallup. "The historical low of 40% was measured in April 1974, months before Richard Nixon resigned amid the Watergate scandal."

Gallup also finds that Obama's approval rating is now just 41%.
