Gallup: 89% of Americans Now Call Government Corruption Widespread, a 20-Year High
A new Gallup survey finds 89% of U.S. adults believe government corruption is widespread, a jump of 10 points from last year and the highest share recorded in two decades. The rise is driven largely by Democrats, whose corruption perceptions climbed from 57% in Biden's final year to 91% now, while independents rose to 90%. Republicans have stayed relatively steady at around 80% over the same period.
