Summary
Nearly 90% of Americans now say corruption is widespread in the U.S. government, a Gallup poll released Wednesday found, marking the highest level recorded in two decades.
10 percentage points of that rise came in just a year, with Gallup saying the shift reflects surging bipartisan frustration with political institutions and the people who run them.
1,000 people were surveyed in May and June, capturing distrust that Gallup described as a record high and underscoring deep erosion in confidence in government.
