Gallup Poll Finds 89% of Americans See Widespread Government Corruption
A recent Gallup poll reveals that 89% of Americans believe corruption is widespread in the US government, marking the highest level in two decades and a significant increase from 73% in 2024. The rise is notably pronounced among Democrats and independents. The poll also indicates growing public concern about corruption in American business. Gallup notes this surge coincides with President Donald Trump's return to office, though the survey question did not mention him directly.
