Instead of looking for a new recipe or playing a favorite song, Americans may be hoping Amazon\u2019s digital assistant or other technology can help the nation solve more serious issues.<\/p>\n

Pew Research asked American adults which institutions will have a positive impact in solving the biggest problems facing the country. More chose science and technology than any other option.<\/p>\n

Almost 9 in 10 (87%) say science will have at least somewhat of a positive impact, including 43% who say it will have a very positive impact.<\/p>\n

Americans believe education is the next most likely institution to positively impact national problems.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Around 3 in 4 say both K-12 public schools (77%) as well as colleges and universities (74%) will impact our largest problems at least somewhat positively, with around a quarter saying each will have a very positive impact.<\/p>\n

Solid majorities also see the military (72%) and state and local governments (64%) as part of future solutions.<\/p>\n

Close to 6 in 10 (59 percent) have faith that religious groups will provide a positive impact on problems facing the country, with 15% saying religious groups will have a very positive impact.<\/p>\n

The only institutions Americans have less overall confidence in than religious groups to positively address national problems\u2014major corporations, the federal government and the news media.<\/p>\n

Half of Americans (51%) say big companies will have a positive impact on the issues facing the country.<\/p>\n

Slightly more than 4 in 10 have confidence in government in Washington (44 percent) and the news media (42%).<\/p>\n
