Majority of Americans Dissatisfied With Corporate Influence


WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A majority of U.S. adults, 63%, say they are dissatisfied with the size and influence of major corporations, while 35% are satisfied. This is largely consistent with what Gallup has found over the past decade, but Americans were more divided between 2001 and 2003.






In 2001, the first year Gallup asked Americans this question, a combined 48% said they were either very or somewhat satisfied with the size and influence of major corporations, and the same percentage were very or somewhat dissatisfied. Since 2003, a majority of Americans have been dissatisfied. Dissatisfaction peaked at 67% in 2011, in the first update after the financial crisis. The percentage satisfied, on the other hand, peaked at 50% in 2002.
