Six in 10 registered voters polled think state government in Illinois is more corrupt than in other states, according to a new poll from the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute.
Roughly 58 percent of respondents to the recent poll said Illinois government is more corrupt than in other states, about 37 percent felt other states were just as corrupt, and only 2 percent felt Illinois was less corrupt.
The findings are the latest from the institute housed at SIU Carbondale, which surveyed 1,261 registered voters statewide between Sept. 4 and Sept. 10.
