A majority of respondents in 48 GOP-held congressional districts believe Republicans are “more corrupt” than Democrats, according to a new poll from a progressive policy group.

Politico reported that 54 percent of respondents from the GOP districts said in the online survey administered by the Center for American Progress that Republicans are more corrupt.

Of those surveyed, 46 percent said they believe Democrats are more corrupt.

Several Trump officials have stepped down over ethics scandals, including former Environmental Protection Agency head Scott Pruitt, former Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin and former Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price.

Fifty-six percent of respondents in the poll said that GOP lawmakers aren’t doing enough in terms of oversight of Trump administration officials.

Democrats have recently pushed to tie murky ethics to the GOP, adopting President Trump’s campaign promise to “drain the swamp” and pointing to a number of ethics issues faced by his administration.

The Center for American Progress Action Fund conducted an online survey of 1,200 registered votes from July 2-5. No margin of error was noted in Politico’s report of the poll.
