Walmart’s Mexico subsidiary is under federal investigation for allegedly paying $24 million in bribes to speed approval of permits and licenses for new stores. But this fraudulent business practice comes as no surprise to most Americans.

Just 11% don’t think bribery in other countries is common, with two percent (2%) who say it’s Not At All Common. However, 18% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

A majority of Americans nationwide believe General Motors should have gone through the regular bankruptcy process instead of allowing the federal government to take over in exchange for bailout money. However, they aren’t entirely convinced that the auto company would have been that much better off if it took that route.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 56% of American Adults believe it would have been better if GM had used the regular bankruptcy procedures and left ownership in the private sector. Thirty-two percent (32%) believe it was appropriate for the government to use the special bankruptcy process in exchange for bailout money. Twelve percent (12%) are not sure.

Many Americans view the bailouts of General Motors and Chrysler more favorably these days, believing incorrectly that the government made money or broke even on them. But the view grows a lot more negative when the actual price tag is attached.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 20% of American Adults now believe the government made money on the billions in taxpayer dollars given to the two automakers to keep them afloat, while 19% more say the government broke even. However, a plurality (46%) recognizes that the government lost money on the auto bailouts. Fifteen percent (15%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Most Americans still believe the price for a gallon of gas could top $5 in the next few months, and more think the government's to blame for the higher prices.

Shareholders last week rejected the compensation package proposed for top executives at Citigroup, the first action of its kind against those who run a major U.S. bank. Americans believe that executives at most major companies are paid too much, but few think the government should regulate CEO compensation. However, there is an exception; Nearly half support continued government regulation of executive compensation at companies that were bailed out. That’s true even if the company paid the money back.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 69% of American Adults believe, generally speaking, that the level of pay and bonuses for executives at most major companies in the United States is too high. Just five percent (5%) believe that compensation is too low, while 20% feel that it’s about right. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
