Gallup Poll: Majority of Americans See Biden Administration’s Ethics as ‘Not Good’ or ‘Poor’
A recent Gallup poll showed that the majority of Americans view the Biden administration’s ethics more negatively than positively.
Gallup highlighted the results Thursday, which said that just 4 in 10 Americans (42 percent) say top Biden administration officials’ ethical standards are excellent or good, while the majority (55 percent) say they are “not good” or poor.
Specifically, only 8 percent said the administration’s standards were excellent, 34 percent said they were good, 18 percent said they were not good, and 37 percent said they were poor.
A Gallup article said the results could be connected to “IRS whistleblower claims about FBI and Justice Department favoritism toward the president’s son, Hunter Biden, in their investigations of him for federal corruption, as well as tax and gun crimes.”

House Judiciary CommitteeThe poll was conducted July 3-27. The results mirrored Biden’s 40 percent job approval rating in the same poll, Gallup said.
Although Biden had campaigned on restoring “decency” and “fairness,” his administration’s ethical standards rating more than two years in is only slightly higher than the Trump administration’s ratings of 37 percent and 38 percent.
The Biden administration’s rating is also lower than other presidential administrations since Reagan, which ranged from 50 percent to 74 percent.
The results broke down along partisan lines, with 84 percent of Democrats and only 6 percent of Republicans saying the Biden administration’s ethics are excellent or good.
“Cross-party support has been steadily dwindling on this measure from a relatively generous assessment in 1994, partly explaining Biden’s and Trump’s low ratings,” Gallup said.
Gallup said in an article summarizing the results:
Biden started his presidency by signing an executive order on ethics, committing his administration to certain high standards in doing the public’s business and avoiding personal conflicts of interest.
Democrats’ high positive ratings of Biden administration ethics indicate the president’s own party members believe he has fulfilled this pledge. Republicans’ extremely low ratings suggest they do not. And while this may be somewhat automatic in today’s politically polarized environment, Republicans’ extraordinarily low confidence in Biden administration ethics could also be connected to IRS whistleblower claims about FBI and Justice Department favoritism toward the president’s son, Hunter Biden, in their investigations of him for federal corruption, as well as tax and gun crimes.
On Wednesday, the Washington Post‘s fact-checker Glenn Kessler gave Biden four Pinocchios for lying about his son Hunter making money in China.

Watching the crooks
I recently had a “procedure” – the kind that makes you think about matters far weightier even than the fact that our nation is now provably being led by a crime family which would shame the Gambinos as rank amateurs.
I confess to a weakness from which we all may suffer to one degree or another in these darkest days of our nation since the War Between the States. It is the surreal attraction we feel -- some may call it close to an obsession -- at having to know every single criminal act of the ever-burgeoning class of traitorous vermin we learn about every day. Those of us on the right are drawn in as a moth to a flame by the sheer overwhelming putrescence of the criminal class we see before us. As I write this, in our peaceful community brushed by the Gulf Breezes from whence came its name, it is even hard for me -- a very elderly (as I was reminded again by the need to have the aforementioned “procedure”), very jaded trial lawyer with much actual experience in dealing with people of the rotten class, to believe that our Founding Fathers risked “our Lives, our Fortunes, our sacred Honor” so that their gift to all of us could be handed over to pond scum like Joe Biden.
I do not recall a time when our nation was so transfixed by the antics of the criminal class, with the possible exception of the Watergate era. This is not to say that these events, the corruption of the Biden Crime Family and the ongoing Banana Republic constant legal harassment of Biden’s presumptive opponent in the 2024 election, are in any sense not important enough to command the attention of all responsible citizens. It does seem noteworthy to me, however, that we are seemingly caught in a vortex of news stories about the exact language of indictments, long transcripts of sworn testimony all of which are reported to us with strong admonitions that we must -- immediately! -- read this or that literally existential document which alone could bring the end of the Republic. I do not recall a time so immersed in this kind of -- for want of a better word -- psychosis.
Perhaps I’m wrong, but it does strike me, as one who is drawn to the flame myself, as something akin to a national fever of some kind.
Although I intend to keep myself informed of the news, I am going to turn my concentration away from these transient criminals who have infected our beloved nation and focus on the things which should resume their central place of honor and love: family, dear friends, neighbors, community, our children – the very essence of our hope and our future. And love for the greatest nation ever created by the minds of the most providential group of men in history -- our Founding Fathers.
