Military Veterans Are Some of the Most Trusted Members of Society According to Gallup Poll

 

Gallup. (2026, January 12)

When we look at recent polling from Gallup on trusted professions in the United States, veterans rank among the most trusted groups, alongside nurses, medical doctors, pharmacists, and even high school teachers. This reflects a strong public appreciation for the service and sacrifices veterans have made.

Organizations like Amvets Post #123 provide important spaces for veterans to connect, socialize, and stay engaged with their communities. When organizations, community members, businesses, and individuals engage in  supporting veterans through job training, access to healthcare benefits, and opportunities for leadership, these groups help strengthen both individuals and the broader community.

Because veterans are widely trusted, they are uniquely positioned to bring people together and help advance both personal and collective goals. For veterans, staying active and engaged in the community is a meaningful way to build on that trust and continue making a positive impact.

If you are a company consider donating, offering lectures, helping to pay for membership fees, updating the club, hiring veterans, promote the club, sponsoring a club party or just reaching out. Consider reminding others to join. Amvets is not just for veterans but also family including anyone who had a grandparent that served. Get on our Donors Page. 

The Gallop Poll (2026):

• Nurses rank as the most trusted profession in the U.S., with 75% of Americans rating their honesty and ethics as “high” or “very high.”

• This marks more than two decades at the top of Gallup’s annual honesty and ethics poll, with nurses leading every year since 1999 except one (2001).

• Other highly rated professions include medical doctors (57%) and pharmacists (53%), though both trail nurses significantly.

• Military veterans were also among the top-rated professions in the most recent survey, ranking just behind nurses.

• The least trusted professions include members of Congress, telemarketers, and car salespeople, all receiving very low ratings.

• Trust in most professions has declined from pandemic-era highs, with many occupations now near historic lows in perceived ethics.

• Nurses’ current rating is lower than their peak during COVID-19 but remains far higher than all other professions.

• Overall, healthcare professions continue to dominate the top of trust rankings, even amid a broader decline in public confidence across occupations.
