Analysis

American voters increasingly believe President Donald Trump is doing more to corrupt the federal government than clean it up, according to an influential group of Democratic pollsters, which could present a major opportunity for the opposition party ahead of November's midterm elections.

A new survey from the Navigator Research Project, whose findings are widely shared in Democratic circles, found 60% of voters believe Trump — whose political career famously began with promises to drain the swamp and criticisms of money in politics — is bringing more corruption to Washington, compared with just 40% who think he's fixing the problem.
