The Most Trusted Brand In Government

According to Gallup, the Centers for Disease Control, which is hosting today's Weight of the Nation conference on obesity, is the government agency most trusted by the American people. 61% say the CDC is doing an "excellent job." NASA and the FBI also get top marks.  The agency with the worst rep: the Federal Reserve Board, which gets 30% positive marks.  The head of the CDC, Dr. Thomas Freiden, gives the opening keynote this morning. I'll be interviewing him later in the day.
