Diageo/Hotline poll: Abramoff-30% say Repub Problem-2% say Dem

[kpete]

"In the wake of Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff’s indictment and growing corruption concerns on Capitol Hill, a majority of American voters believe corruption is an equal problem among both political parties (72%)," according to a new Diageo/Hotline poll.

The survey shows "while clear majorities see corruption as a bipartisan issue, most of the voters who do associate corruption with one party choose the Republican Party (17% say corruption is more of a problem among Republicans, 6% say Democrats)… Now 33% of Americans view Jack Abramoff unfavorably and 4% view him favorably. Despite his close ties to Republicans, a plurality of voters say they don’t associate Abramoff with either political party (37%). For voters who do associate him with a party, 30% say he is connected most to Republicans and 2% say he is connected most to Democrats."
