    The poll finds that a narrow majority of Americans (51%) say they think the level of corruption under the Trump administration is worse than under other recent presidential administrations (22% say levels of corruption are better, while 24% say they are about the same). Americans are slightly more likely to describe the Republican Party as “more corrupt” than the Democratic Party (49% vs. 41%).

    The poll also explores views of President Donald Trump’s presidency and attitudes towards the war in Iran. Overall, 33% of Americans approve of how Trump is handling his job as president, compared to 64% that disapprove. Meanwhile, four-in-five say they think U.S. military involvement in Iran will go on for an extended period of time and most say they disapprove of U.S. military strikes on the country.
