Saying that Conservatives have lost trust in “science” based on this study would be like saying they’ve lost trust in “the Constitution” because of a poll showing their confidence in Congress has plunged. What did the study really say?

Fewer than 35 percent of conservatives say they have a “great deal” of trust in the scientific community now, compared to nearly half in 1974.
Exactly. The distinction between “science” and “the scientific community” is everything. Conservatives’ belief in the scientific method’s ability to obtain practical knowledge about the world has not waned one bit. The issue is with a too often politicized scientific community, which liberals exploit to try to justify federal government expansion. It’s the Vision of the Anointed conservatives are revolting against, not science.
