Nearly half of US thinks Biden did something ‘illegal’ concerning Hunter: poll

Nearly half of Americans think President Biden did something “illegal” regarding his son’s business dealings abroad, including a majority of Republicans and independents, a new poll shows.

A Yahoo News/YouGov poll published Wednesday found that 48% of Americans say the president did something “illegal about Hunter Biden,” while only 31% said he did not. The remaining 21% said they were “not sure” about the president’s guilt.

Those who think Biden did something illegal include 85% of Republicans and 54% of independents, while 64% of Democrats say Biden did nothing illegal.

A slightly lower 41% of Americans say Biden is “involved” in his son’s business, more than the 31% who say he is not. The poll also found that 43% said Joe Biden “profited” from Hunter’s bid while 28% said he did not.

Relatedly, 47% of Americans said yes to the statement “Joe Biden and his family are corrupt,” compared to 33% who said the first family is not corrupt. Another 19% said they were undecided.

Meanwhile, 67% of Americans say Hunter Biden, 53, definitely or probably did something illegal — including 88% of Republicans, 77% of independents and 55% of Democrats.

A majority of Americans (62%) also approved of Hunter Biden’s indictment earlier this month on gun charges — and 55% would support a future indictment for peddling access to his father to obtain “foreign business dealings.”

A slightly higher 45% of respondents said Biden should not be removed from office, compared to 36% who said he should.

Among Republicans polled, 70% support the president being impeached and removed from office, while 40% of independents and 7% of Democrats agree.

A previous Yahoo News/YouGov poll conducted two weeks after the January 6, 2021, Capitol riots showed that 51% of Americans support the impeachment of former President Donald Trump and 39% oppose it.

Trump, 77, has been indicted in four jurisdictions on 91 counts related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, maintaining classified documents after the presidency and hiding “hush money” payments to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.
