What do Americans think about the accusation investigation

Welcome to POLLAPALOOZA for our weekly-work survey gathering.

Officially the season of appeal again. On Tuesday, Home majority leader Kevin McCarthy announced President Biden’s son Hunter directed three home committees to start investigating whether he has benefited from business agreements abroad. McCarthy accused the Biden family of “corruption culture ve and said that the Biden administration gave Hunter to Hunter in a penalty and weapon investigation and said that Biden lied about his son’s knowledge of his son’s financial relations.

The good news for McCarthy and the right -wing supporters of an accusation investigation believe that Hunter Biden’s business relations in general are at best and most likely illegal.

But Hunter Biden is not the subject of the objection investigation – his father. So far, the Republicans have not provided a concrete evidence that connects the President of the Son to the overseas of his son, but the objection investigation may allow the Biden and his son to receive bank records and other financial documents from the Parliamentary Republicans. Currently, the Republicans are convinced that Biden is mostly related to the injustice of Hunter, while the Americans are generally more inclined to see the former president Donald Trump’s family as corrupt compared to Bidens. And there is no wide consensus that the Republicans require an objection investigation that indicates that they are convinced to do if they want the public to support their investigations.

Americans think that Hunter Biden earns from his father’s position

All the claims of a wider network of corruption within the Biden family have not yet been proven. However, the less controversial, Hunter Biden’s personally He made a significant amount of money from beginning to end overseas job opportunitiesand the subject A long -standing criminal investigation. In the beginning of this summer, He agreed to be guilty In 2017 and 2018, the two misdemeanors of not paying taxes over millions of dollars of income, with an additional agreement that could allow them to avoid a conviction of a separate illegal arms ownership, but the appointment of a Trump fell after the judge. He said he refused For “tire stamping” the contract, He said it was not standard. Republicans accused the Biden administration of making an agreement with Hunter and in August, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a special lawyer To continue to investigate Avcı Biden’s finance.

None of this is a great look for the president’s son, and the recent survey shows that Americans are unhappy about Hunter Biden’s behavior. A Yougov/Economist Survey In August, after the defense agreement collapsed, 72 percent of Americans found that Hunter Biden’s father thinks that he personally profit from his positions, including the fine majority of democrats (53 percent). The same questionnaire found that two -thirds of Americans (66 percent) had a negative opinion of Hunter Biden, that only 17 percent had a positive opinion (17 percent said they did not know). According to a Yahoo News survey conducted by Yougov In August, 59 percent of Americans are traded with Hunter Biden’s family name and proximity to power to get millions of dollars from foreign business partners. The same survey believed that 51 percent of Americans thought that Hunter Biden demanded tens of thousands of dollars in tax cuts. And A IPSOS/Politico Magazine survey conducted in August Similarly, 59 percent of Americans found that Hunter Biden thought that 51 percent of the democrats were guilty of crimes in the case of non -tax payment. In particular, only 2 percent of the participants said they thought they were not guilty and they did not know 38 percent.

The findings of the Yougov/Economist survey show that most Americans think that the president’s child is treated some special treatment. The questionnaire said that 84 percent of the participants thought that the US presidents thought that their parents have escaped from other people because of the work of their parents, and that a similar share (85 percent) said that at least adult children sometimes benefited from their parents’ positions in the state. Therefore, although the Americans generally seem to have been convinced that Hunter Biden’s father’s work was financially profitable, and a subtle majority of the Democrats may not be shocking or unexpected, while a subtle majority of the democrats probably committed crimes.

Republicans were more convinced that Biden was about Hunter’s injustice

Republicans do not have to convince Americans that Hunter Biden deserves the investigation and even a criminal case. But that’s not the question that’s important to impress his father. In order to justify the influence of the president, the Republicans will have to prove that they are involved in financial inaccuracies or corruption rising to an irrevocable crime level. And so far, Republicans make claims without facts to support them. When he announced the investigation, McCarthy claimed – Without evidence – that millions of hunter Biden, who were gained through overseas agreements, were shared inappropriately with Biden family members and used the official role of Biden as Vice President to help Hunter.

More findings that connect Biden and his family to Hunter Biden’s business relations may of course emerge. At the moment, however, the Americans did not fully buy the idea that Biden family participated in a wider impact plan. Less than half of the participants in the Yahoo survey (41 percent), Hunter Biden said that in a long -standing plan to help Joe Biden’s profit from the position of Joe Biden, he said that they did a funnel to his father and 26 percent did not believe. A similar share (44 percent) believed that Biden was absolutely or probably illegal in relation to Hunter Biden, 32 percent of them certainly or probably did not do and 32 percent of them, he said.

Many Americans are not adjusted much Against the allegations against Bidens, it results in such a high share of people who say that they don’t know these questions. And another survey found a slightly higher share of people who said that even if Joe Biden did not do anything illegal, he might have acted in an unethical way. According to a SSRS/CNN survey 61 percent of the Americans carried out in August admitted that Biden had at least a little bit of participation in business relations, but less than half (42 percent) was illegal and 18 percent were ethical but illegal, he said. Similarly, A Quinnipiac University Survey He found that 35 percent of the Americans carried out in September thought that Biden was involved and that Hunter Biden did something illegal in his business relations with Ukraine and China, that 14 percent participated and that he did something unethical but illegal and 37 percent were not included.

However, as shown in the table above, people who really believe that Biden family is corrupted. Not surprisingly, the Democrats were convinced that the President of the President did something wrong and that the independents were quite divided. Of course, the more scope of the allegations that motivate the objection investigation – and any concrete evidence that may arise throughout the way – it is possible for people to change their minds or at least persuade some of the undecided ones.

And especially, Yahoo News Survey The share of the participants who think that Joe Biden broke the law, including the share of Americans who think that Hunter Biden has done something illegal – the share of the democrats Drums of Republican Charges on the contrary. Beacon Research for FOX News/Shaw & Co. Research He found a similar tendency: the share of Americans who thought that Hunter Biden was doing something illegal rose from 39 percent to 50 percent in August last December, but the share of Americans who thought that Joe Biden’s son did something illegal about business relations did not really move. (The questionnaire found at 38 percent in August in August.)

Not convinced that Americans need to be objected

Perhaps for Republicans in the most concern, most Americans do not think that an objection investigation into Biden is currently guaranteed. A GBAO/Fabrizio for Wall Street Journal, Lee & Associate Survey In late August, 52 percent of the Americans carried out found that Biden opposed to influence and only 41 percent in favor. More recently, A Yougov Survey conducted on September 13 41 percent of the Americans opposed to affect Biden, 44 percent of the support and 15 percent of the support found. According to the audience, the Americans were more closely divided into Trump’s first objection, when the first appeal of Trump began. And after the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, The majority of Americans supported Trump’s objection; A thin majority of Americans continuously supported the dismissal of Trump before the end of his term of office.

In fact, the allegations of corruption when it comes to the Trump family is more adhesive than Bidens. According to the Yahoo News Research, 46 percent of Americans think that Trump and his family are more corrupt than Bidens, while 36 percent think Bidens is more corrupt than Trump. And a new AP-Norc Survey He found that the Americans were more likely to describe Trump as “corrupted” from Biden. Meanwhile, That September Yougov Survey Instead of a serious effort to find the truth (28 percent), the Americans found that the probability of defining the objection investigation motivated by politics to embarrass Biden (41 percent) was higher.

This does not mean that Hunter Biden’s legal problems are not responsible for Biden, A great jury blamed him In federal weapon charges. A new Emerson College Survey 47 voters say that the indictments against Trump reduce the likelihood of voting for the president, while 46 percent of the hunter Biden tax and the guilty weapons charges were less likely to vote for Joe Biden in 2024. For this reason, it is possible for Hunter Biden’s investigation to continue and that his father could cause political damage. However, at the moment, the Republicans are not missing the evidence that Biden is linked to the ways that may be linked to the injustice of his son – but also on the people of the people.
