According to a Brennan Center survey conducted in late April and early May, people know government corruption is a problem.
The results are striking. More than 9 in 10 voters believe corruption is a big problem across politics and government. Large majorities view corruption as endemic and deeply embedded in government institutions, from the Supreme Court to Congress to the presidency. They are dejected about the fact that scandals continuously go without consequences and shocking revelations fail to produce reform.
Margins are overwhelming among Democrats, Republicans, and independents.
What will it take to make real change? Probably a centrist movement whose focus is to solve problems. Unfortunately. people seem to be gravitating to the extremes not the center. Furthermore, corruption seems to only concern people when it is the opposite end of the political spectrum from where they are.
