What I find fascinating about this is how the American commenters are eating their own, Democrats blaming Republicans, Republicans blaming Democrats, both spinning conspiracy yarns about "the other side" as well as independents ("the other side in disguise"), and generally treating each other like "the enemy". Some other interesting tidbits: - In America, perception of government corruption has consistently held about 11% higher than the perception of corruption in business. Even with the massive uptick of both since 2024, they've remained a similar relative distance apart. - Since 2023, only four countries out of the 132 in which Gallup has posed this question annually have scored nominally above the 89% recorded in the U.S. this year: Lebanon in 2024 (92%), Peru in 2025 (92%), and Ghana and Nigeria in 2024 (both 90%).
