WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Three in four Americans (75%) last year perceived
corruption as widespread in the country's government. This figure is up
from two in three in 2007 (67%) and 2009 (66%).
While the numbers have fluctuated slightly since 2007, the trend has
been largely stable since 2010. However, the percentage of U.S. adults
who see corruption as pervasive has never been less than a majority in
the past decade, which has had no shortage of controversies from the U.S. Justice Department's firings of U.S. attorneys to the IRS scandal.
