'Collective mind' bridges societal divides: Research explores how watching the same thing can bring people together

Only about 1 in 4 Americans said that they had trust in the nation's institutions in 2023—with big business (1 in 7), television news (1 in 7) and Congress (1 in 12) scraping the very bottom.
