Divided Opinions: Americans Weigh in on Biden's Business Dealings and Impeachment Inquiry

A recent poll by The Associated Press and NORC reveals a significant portion of American adults perceive President Joe Biden's business dealings with his son, Hunter Biden, as unethical or illegal. Specifically, 63% of U.S. adults hold this view, with 33% considering them unethical and 30% deeming them illegal. Only 30% of those polled believe Biden did 'nothing wrong.' The poll also highlights a stark partisan divide, with 65% of Republicans asserting Biden acted illegally, compared to just 8% of Democrats. Furthermore, 32% of Democrats and 31% of Republicans believe Biden acted 'unethically' but not 'illegally.' A higher percentage of Democrats (58%) than Republicans (3%) believe Biden has 'not done anything wrong.'

Despite the impeachment inquiry's first hearing in late January, there is no solid evidence directly linking Biden to financial gains from Hunter Biden's business dealings or proving that policy decisions were influenced by these deals. The poll indicates that 65% of respondents either disapprove or are neutral towards the inquiry, while 33% support it. Once again, a partisan divide is evident, with 67% of Republicans and 7% of Democrats endorsing the inquiry. The impeachment inquiry faces long odds in the Democratic-controlled Senate, and it lacks robust evidence with tepid public support, as reported by The Hill and CNN. As impeachment proceedings continue, Biden maintains his dealings were legitimate. However, 76% of Republicans view his actions as unethical or illegal. Without concrete proof of misconduct, Democrats remain largely unconvinced, seeing the probe as a partisan attack. The poll underscores the deep divide among American voters on the impeachment proceedings of their current President.
