Pollster: Trump administration ranks lower than predecessors on ethics

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Pollster Dan Cox said on Wednesday the Trump administration ranks lower than its three most recent predecessors on the issue of ethics.

"There's a perception that this administration has a little bit of an ethical problem," Cox, who is the research director at the Public Religion Research Institute, told Hill.TV's Joe Concha on "What America's Thinking."

"Gallup has trend data going back a few administrations, which asked how ethically competent are members of the administration, and Trump ranks much lower than George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton's administration," he continued.

Thirty-seven percent of respondents said they would rate the Trump administration's ethical standards as "excellent" or "good," according to the Gallup survey, which was released in May.

Ya think so?

1. How can you be rated for something you do not have?

2. I would think that there would be objective measures of concerns with ethics.

A poll is next to worthless as a measure of ethics. ... in this case it works of course, but it's still just perception. I would prefer hard data.
