The percentage of Americans the organization surveyed in August who said they had a positive opinion of the pharmaceutical industry dropped to 35 percent, from 40 percent, and the percentage with a negative view increased to 43 percent, from 36 percent.
Jim Norman, a Gallup analyst, computed a net view index by subtracting from the negative view level from the positive view level.
The negative 8 percent net view is down from a positive 4 percent net view in 2014, but up from 10 percent in 2013.
