Over 50% of American public has positive attitude towards Computer Industry, which is the highest among industries, concluded by a recent Gallup poll, 6th -9th August 2009. Economist.com reported.
Americans say they are keenest on the computer industry, with the restaurant business and hard-working farmers not far behind. Oil and gas producers come off worst, with the troubled car industry and the federal government only slightly more popular. Banking has plummeted in the public’s estimation. Only two years ago, it enjoyed an overall positive rating from 30% of people.
See the following graph how other industries were viewed by American people.
Computer Industry had got the most positive public attitude, higher than 50% American voted positive towards it. Restaurant has got over 40% positive attitude followed by Agriculture that has got nearly 40% vote. Federal government, Car, Oil and gas have got the most negative public attitude.
I found one interesting comment on the graph. Have a look.
Great to see this here, but this isn’t too much of a surprise to me. ESPECIALLY the fact that Americans have a love affair with Microsoft and Apple. And, yes, a lot of us despise federal government, even though we probably need it now more than ever. But I am shocked that the car and oil and gas are the two most negative percentages.

I don’t think anyone ever needed the Federal Government. They’re a bunch of hooligans and thieves, good-for-nothing. When things are going well, we can just about live with them, but in a crises, they really bring the house down. Now worse than ever.
I’m surprised that ONLY 30% of the people hate them. The others are victims of propaganda.
For those who have doubts: the current level of unemployment is already higher than the WORST CASE SCENARIO presented by Obama if the Feds did nothing. In other words, even based on his own assumptions, he made things WORSE than they could reasonably be expected to be without any intervention.
That’s normal. What good can come from government stealing more from productive people and giving it to their buddies?
Let me just remind you: they paid $18 MILLION for a web site (yes, a web site) to run pro-government propaganda to a company that helped Obama’s election PR. That’s called a pay-off.
And while you might think this is “small fish”, let’s put this into perspective: my current web site prototype was developed by a student from Ukraine for $150. While it is far from complete, you can easily guess what you’ll get for $1′500 or $15′000. Paying $18 MILLION for a web site means over-paying it by a factor of 1′000.
Now apply that to every single amount that government handed out as “stimulus” and you get a measure of how much they fleeced the tax payers.
Thanks for your information.
I am completely agree with your comments.
That’s why nearly 30% of US people had negative attitude towards government in the above graph. This is quite interesting and new thing for me.
