From Frequency58, a survey was conducted to survey the public tendency regarding the level of confidence of the population in the CNE. The question selected was: How much confidence do you have in this person or institution in its work to achieve the welfare of Venezuela? The answers were measured in six initial categories, which are: very confident, some confidence, little confidence, no confidence, don’t know and no answer.

From the outset, the low confidence of the respondents in this institution can be seen with only 20% compared to 70% who do not trust them.

When we add the age-generation and political self-definition variables, we obtain that:

In terms of generation, Zillennials lead as the generation that most distrusts the CNE with 76.5% of those surveyed, being also the least trusting with 16.5%. While the most trusting and least distrustful are Boomers, with 33.4% and 64% respectively.

When we look at the political position of those surveyed, we find that supporters of the ruling party are the ones who trust the CNE the most, with 74%. They are, in turn, the least distrustful with 19.7%. On the other hand, it is the non-aligned who distrust the most with 76.1% and those who trust the least with 9.8%, far below the 22.8% of opposition followers.
