DescriptionThe recent disputes involving the IRS, last year's deadly Benghazi attack and the Justice Department's media probes have raised doubts about the Obama administration’s honesty and integrity among majorities of Americans, a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds.

One of the chief reasons for that consistent rating: Most Americans don’t hold him primarily responsible for the controversies, according to the poll.
