WASHINGTON, D.C. — Americans’ perceptions of government corruption in the U.S. are at their highest level in 20 years, with 89% of U.S. adults saying it is widespread. That figure is up 10 percentage points from last year and well above readings in the 72% to 79% range between 2010 and 2025.
华盛顿特区——美国民众对政府腐败的感知度达到20年来最高水平，89%的成年人认为腐败现象普遍。该数据较去年上升10个百分点，远高于2010至2025年间72%-79%的区间值。
Democrats’ perceptions of government corruption have risen the most sharply since 2024 compared with other party groups. In former President Joe Biden’s final year in office, 57% of Democrats said corruption was widespread in government; that rose to 76% in 2025, the first year of President Donald Trump’s second term, and reached 91% this year. The figure among political independents (90%) aligns more closely with Democrats’ than with Republicans’ (83%) and is up 12 points since 2024.
自2024年以来，民主党人对政府腐败的感知度上升最为显著。前总统拜登任期最后一年时，57%的民主党人认为政府腐败普遍；到特朗普第二任期首年（2025年）该比例升至76%，今年达91%。政治中立派（90%）的数据更接近民主党而非共和党（83%），较2024年上升12个百分点。
Republicans’ views of corruption have changed far less in the same period. For the past two years, about eight in 10 have said corruption is widespread, broadly in line with 2024, when 87% said the same.
同期共和党人的观点变化较小。过去两年约80%认为腐败普遍，与2024年87%的比例基本持平。
Although strong majorities of Republicans and Democrats perceive government corruption as widespread, it is likely for different reasons. Democrats’ perceptions appear closely linked to which party controls the administration. Republicans’ greater consistency on this measure — despite the 2024 election delivering them the White House and Congress — suggests a more underlying view of government corruption that depends less on the party in power.
尽管两党多数人都认为政府腐败普遍，但原因可能不同。民主党人的看法似乎与执政党归属密切相关。而共和党人在此问题上的更高一致性——即便2024年大选使其掌控白宫和国会——表明其对政府腐败持更根本性的看法，较少受执政党影响。
Before Recent Increase, U.S. Already Outranked Other Advanced Economies
在近期飙升前 美国腐败感知度已领先其他发达经济体
The U.S. has increasingly diverged from other advanced economies in perceptions of government corruption, based on Gallup polling across the 38 member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The median level of perceived corruption among OECD countries has fallen from 69% in 2009 to below 60% since 2022.
根据盖洛普对经合组织38个成员国的调查，美国在政府腐败感知度上与其它发达经济体的差距持续扩大。经合组织国家的腐败感知中位数已从2009年的69%降至2022年后的60%以下。
Full data collection for 2026 is not yet complete in all countries, so the closest comparison across the OECD is from 2025, when a median of 59% said corruption is widespread in their government.
2026年全球数据尚未完全采集，最近可比数据为2025年——经合组织国家中59%民众认为本国政府腐败普遍。
In the early years of this trend, countries such as Greece, Hungary and the Czech Republic all saw scores above 90%. But over time, the highest levels of perceived corruption across the bloc have gradually fallen, reaching 79% in 2025 — placing the U.S. atop the OECD rankings for the first time, even before the additional 10-point increase within the past year.
趋势形成初期，希腊、匈牙利和捷克等国腐败感知度均超90%。但随着时间推移，该联盟最高值逐渐下降，2025年达79%——使美国首次登顶经合组织榜单，这甚至发生在过去一年再增10个百分点之前。
By 2024, there was already a 15-point gap between the U.S. and OECD countries on this metric, but that rose to 20 points in 2025 as U.S. perceptions of corruption increased six points to 79%, compared with 59% across the OECD. The gap between the U.S. and the OECD median could potentially be even wider this year.
2024年美欧差距已达15个百分点，2025年随着美国腐败感知度上升6点至79%（经合组织中位数59%），差距扩大至20点。今年这一差距可能进一步拉大。
Since 2023, only four countries out of the 132 in which Gallup has posed this question annually have scored nominally above the 89% recorded in the U.S. this year: Lebanon in 2024 (92%), Peru in 2025 (92%), and Ghana and Nigeria in 2024 (both 90%).
2023年以来，在盖洛普年度调查的132个国家中，仅黎巴嫩（2024年92%）、秘鲁（2025年92%）、加纳和尼日利亚（2024年均为90%）四国数据高于美国今年的89%。
Perceptions of Corruption in Government Outstrip Those in Businesses
政府腐败感知度远超企业
Each year, Gallup asks the world about corruption in two contexts: government and business. The two are typically strongly related. If people think corruption is widespread in their national government, it is likely that they think the same about businesses in their country. But the U.S. increasingly bucks this trend.
盖洛普每年调查政府与企业两类腐败感知，二者通常高度相关。但美国正日益背离这种关联性。
Americans’ perceptions of business corruption have also increased this year, by eight points to 71%. That is 18 points lower than perceptions of corruption in government, the largest gap between the two types of corruption seen in the U.S. trend. By contrast, between 2006 and 2025, perceptions of government corruption averaged 11 points higher than business corruption. Across Gallup’s trend since 2006, few countries have recorded larger gaps than the current U.S. gap in relative perceptions of government versus business corruption.
今年美国企业腐败感知度亦上升8点至71%，但仍比政府腐败感知度低18个百分点，创美国趋势数据最大差值。2006-2025年间，美国政府腐败感知度平均仅比企业高11点。盖洛普2006年以来数据显示，鲜有国家政府与企业腐败感知差距超过当前美国水平。
Bottom Line
核心结论
Perceptions of government corruption are now higher in the U.S. than at any point in the past two decades and outpace most other countries, including advanced economies. While perceptions of corruption in business are also elevated, government corruption is seen as significantly more widespread.
美国当前政府腐败感知度创二十年新高，并超越多数国家（含发达经济体）。尽管企业腐败感知度同步上升，但政府腐败被认为明显更为普遍。
In a country where many are polarized across a wide range of issues, this is one case where bipartisanship reflects shared alarm as much as shared consensus. In fact, it is the near convergence of U.S. partisans on the issue — with Democrats’ concern about government corruption now only marginally higher than Republicans’ — that has lifted the U.S. figure to its record high.
在这个诸多议题两极分化的国家，两党在此事上既达成共识又共同示警。正是两党观点的趋同——民主党对政府腐败的担忧仅略高于共和党——推动美国数据创下历史峰值。
