Overall feeling that corruption in the Americas in the rise, says watchdog group — MercoPress
In the United States, mistrust and feelings of rampant corruption were mostly placed on the country’s political parties and the legislative system. A particularly harsh presidential race last year, the powerful emergence of the so-called Super PACS and a number of recent scandals surrounding the administration of President Barack Obama have been cited as the main reasons that 76% of those polled found political parties corrupt. About 61% said they believed there is rampant corruption in Congress and the White House.
