WASHINGTON, D.C. — Confidence in government statistics is collapsing as a new Rasmussen Reports poll shows that most Americans believe federal numbers can no longer be trusted. From the 2020 Census miscount to conflicting jobs data, voters say the government is failing to deliver reliable information.
Trump Orders a New Census
President Donald Trump has ordered a new census after errors were admitted in the official 2020 count. A majority of voters agree with him that illegal immigrants should not be included in census totals, which impact congressional representation and federal funding.
According to Rasmussen:
-
57% of likely voters approve of Trump’s decision to order a new census.
-
36% strongly approve of the move.
-
Just 34% disapprove, including 24% who strongly disapprove.
Americans Don’t Trust Government Numbers
The poll also revealed that two out of three voters believe government statistics are biased or untrustworthy.
Scandals surrounding inaccurate census counts and wildly inconsistent jobs numbers have fueled skepticism. Many voters now share the sentiment: “We don’t believe the numbers either.”
Why Honest Numbers Matter
The growing mistrust underscores the importance of leadership at key statistical agencies. Supporters argue that the Senate should confirm EJ Antoni as head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to restore credibility and ensure transparent, reliable economic data for policymakers and the public.
What’s Next
As confidence in government data hits new lows, Trump’s push for a new census — and the Senate’s decision on EJ Antoni — may shape not just the future of America’s statistics, but also voter trust heading into the 2026 elections.

The Democrats allowed 24 million illegals into the country
Their strategy is to have them counted in the census in the sanctuary states in shithole cities, thus requiring more representatives to be elected to the house. Obviously those elected would be democrats and they would then push to allow them to vote
This is all part of Obama’s third term (using dementia case crooked joe biden as a puppet)
Biden was always the useful idiot. Then he was elected President where he reached the pinnacle of useful idiot. History will not be kind to his babysitter wife.
