A Record 89% Of Americans Now Call Their Government Corrupt
Gallup surveyed adults from May 1 to June 10, catching a ten-point jump in a single year across every party.
- Democrats' number jumped 34 points since 2024, from 57% to 91% this year.
- Independents climbed to 90%; Republicans held near 83%, both already elevated since 2024.
- The U.S. figure sits 20 points above the 59% OECD median measured last year.
Why it matters: When Democrats, Republicans and independents converge on one verdict, it stops being a complaint and becomes a description.
