Most Americans believe the Biden administration’s ethical standards are “not good” or “poor,” according to a new national poll released Thursday.
A majority of US adults (55%) surveyed by Gallup throughout July gave top White House officials a negative ethics rating — the lowest of any administration in recent history with the exception of former President Donald Trump.
The poll showed 42% of respondents gave the Biden administration a positive ethics rating, with 34% calling the current standards “good” and 8% calling them “excellent.”
Trump officials had the lowest ethics ratings of any presidential administration on record, with only 38% giving an “excellent” or “good” rating.
Biden, 80, began his presidency with an executive order that required government employees to sign pledges to “act in the interest of the American people and not for personal gain.”
Another pledge ordered his appointees to “uphold the independence of the Department of Justice” — a standard that congressional Republicans and federal whistleblowers say has not been upheld.
Notably, 41% of independents rated Biden officials’ ethics as substandard, while just 35% said the same of the Trump administration.
The polling shows a drift toward hyper-partisan responses to recent presidential administration. Just 6% of Republicans say Biden officials have acted ethically while in office, while 11% of Democrats said the same of Trump.**

-Joe "Hairy Legs" Biden
Most voters rated Biden’s ethics at Zer0. Those who did not were those never capable of holding a job.
Where is the box for NONEXISTENT?
Full disclosure:
I am on the Gallup Poll responders list.............
That 8% definitely need to be institutionalized for their own safety and the safety of the general population.
Career criminals don’t have ethics.
Was “non-existent” not one of the choices?
Ethics and politics are not compatible. You can’t be a politician and have ethics. It just doesn’t work out. Politicians are naturally crooks.
Ethics?
Ha, ha, ha. They have NO ETHICS. Using lawfare to destroy a past president who is your opponent is the sleaziest thing to have ever happened in US politics. Well, maybe after hoovering up $50 to $100 million in bribes from all over the world.
“Ethics” — what a joke.
If anybody thinks there are ethics in this White House, they aren’t paying attention.
2 days ago it was verified that the diary PV had was real. So Biden’s daughter wrote that Biden took showers with her and God knows what else. Pick 12 random people and you won’t find 2 that even know about it. Now imagine it was Ivanka.
Government of the polls, by the polls and for the polls. Hopefully, it WILL perish from the earth.
Ethics rating? How about criminal?
What ethics? Biden has no ethics. The man is an immoral pedophile.
