81% of Americans Say Money Controls Politics – Can a Constitutional Amendment Fix It?
A new poll finds 81% of Americans believe money has too much influence over politics, highlighting broad concern across the political spectrum about campaign finance.
The survey suggests strong support for reform, including efforts to curb foreign contributions, corporate money, and opaque “dark money” groups that can influence elections and public policy behind the scenes.
Experts say the public’s pressure could drive renewed debate over potential constitutional measures or legislative reforms, though details on paths forward remain contested and politically complex.
