Poll: 76% of Americans want Bush to release list of Abramoff meetings
Majority Disapproves of Bush on Ethics in Government

* Jan. 27, 2006 — A clear majority of Americans now disapprove of President Bush's handling of ethics in government, and three-quarters say the administration should disclose all contacts between White House officials and disgraced Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff.


* The administration has declined to release records of Abramoff meetings, saying it will not "engage in a fishing expedition." But in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, 76 percent said the White House should produce such a list. Even 65 percent of Republicans said so.


* Beyond disapproval of Bush on ethics, there's been some weakening for the Republicans more broadly. Asked which party they trust more to stand up to lobbyists and special interest groups, just 27 percent of Americans picked the Republicans, down from 34 percent last month. More, 46 percent, preferred the Democrats.


* Moreover, 43 percent say the overall level of ethics and honesty in the federal government has fallen during Bush's presidency — about 20 points more than Bill Clinton during the Whitewater controversy more than a decade ago.
