Lowest ethics: Journalists, telemarketers, politicians, all worse than Catholic priests

Politicians, lawyers, telemarketers, and journalists sit at the low end of a new survey asking which profession has the highest ethics and honesty.

Nurses are on top of the latest Gallup survey, with 84 percent viewing their profession as one with “very high” ethics.

Last sit members of Congress. Just 8 percent view them as highly ethical and 58 percent view as having “very low” ethics, the biggest percentage in the annual poll taken since 1976.
