My impression is that lying has become much more acceptable; not only are people more willing to engage in the behavior, they have a less critical view of those who do.
But I think that is only one aspect of a greater problem. I sense less engagement in the political process among many. Perhaps the perception that votes are for the lesser evil is at the heart of the problem.
