Strong public trust in science
An overwhelming 85% majority of respondents trusted science and research. On the other hand, 11% said they had only little trust in science.
Socio-demographic differences were relatively small, although the higher educated expressed stronger trust in science than respondents with less education.*
By political party identification, Green Party and National Coalition Party supporters had the highest trust in science. Even among Finns Party supporters – the group with the largest share of distrusting respondents (24%) – more than two-thirds (71%) said they trusted science.*
