The TNS Ilres poll, conducted for Wort and RTL in November 2017, revealed that the most trusted institutions were trade unions (50%), followed by the government (49%), the opposition (48%), political parties (45%) and lastly employers (40%).

When asked about their confidence in certain political parties, the CSV scored highest with 62%, followed by Déi Gréng (50%), the LSAP (47%). The DP, of which the prime minister is a member, was trusted by 45%. The smaller opposition parties ADR and déi Lénk are distrusted by 73% and 59% respectively.

Nevertheless, compared to January 2017, the DP, LSAP and déi Gréng could score slightly higher.

When respondents were asked to spontaneously name a party that they trust, the scores are very different. 36% spontaneously named the CSV as the party they trusted the most. Only 15% said they trusted the DP the most, 13% mentioned the LSAP, and only 9% mentioned the smallest coalition partner, Déi Gréng. It should be noted that 19% said they trusted no party currently.
