What is this article about?

Here in the United States, the annual Gallup poll measures Americans’ feelings about the trustworthiness, ethics and honesty of various professions. In early 2020, nurses were once again voted to be the most ethical and honest of all, with 85 per cent of respondents stating that nurses’ ethics and honesty were ‘high’ or ‘very high’. Meanwhile, physicians scored 65 per cent and Members of Congress a lowly 12 per cent.
