According to the 2009 Gallup Honesty and Ethics Poll, lawyers are not the least trusted among the professions. In fact, trust in lawyers decreased less than trust in the Clergy between 2008 and 2009. Furthermore, lawyers are trusted more than car salesperson, members of Congress, stockbrokers and business executives. I suppose, if you were a glass half full kind of person, you could interpret this to mean that lawyers are among the five least trusted professions. Is this a matter of "symantics"?
I couldn't find where Realtors were rated, but 54% of those sampled trusted college instructors (down from 58% in 2006). It's good to see that in the view of those polled, I have at least one honest job.
