The poll also asked whether people trust journalists or politicians more ? 76 percent of those surveyed said they trust journalists more, while just 6 percent said politicians were more trustworthy.

And in a question about which characteristic is most important for a president to have, 40 percent said ?intelligence? was most significant, followed by 35 percent of people who chose ?character.? Just 2 percent picked ?ruthlessness.?

This poll was conducted via telephone interview among a sample of 1,165 adults.
