Has Trust in the U.S. Intelligence Community Eroded?: Examining the Relationship Between Policymakers and Intelligence Providers

Bys: Dictus, Christopher, Shokh, Yuliya, Nazha, Isabelle

Policy and U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) professionals have suggested that the IC is held in increasingly lower regard by some decisionmakers and that predictions have had variable success in influencing decisionmakers. Researchers explored whether and to what degree trust in intelligence predictions and national estimates has degraded over time and what factors might have driven any changes in the relationship between policymakers and the IC.
