Only telemarketers are ranked lower than members of Congress for honesty and ethical standards by Americans — a list topped by nurses and medical doctors, according to a poll released Tuesday.
A paltry 2% say the ethical standards of their elected representatives are “very high” and only 7% say they are “high,” according to a Gallup Poll.
It also found that 62% say their lawmakers have honesty and ethics problems — with 37% saying their standards are “low” and 25% saying they are “very low.”
