trustworthy and their meaning

In addition, it is important to understand how trustworthy is interpreted in the political landscape. Tuesday points are crucial when it comes to measuring changes in trust. An increase of 4 percentage points from 8% to 12% may appear low, but represents a massive percentage increase of 50%, since the calculation is based on the original value. This illustrates why political surveys are such an important instrument to grasp public opinion.
