More than SIX in TEN Americans believe Biden handled classified documents “improperly,” says a new survey after the Justice Department finds ANOTHER batch of records at his Wilmington home
- New poll shows majority of Americans disapprove of classified files issue
- It comes days after President Joe Biden said he has “no regrets” about it.
- More classified documents were found at Biden’s Wilmington residence on Saturday.
Most Americans believe President Joe Biden handled classified documents “inappropriately,” a new poll suggested Sunday.
It comes a day after Biden’s personal lawyer announced that six other documents, some bearing classified markings, were recovered on Saturday from his home in Wilmington, Delaware.
Since that discovery, between 25 and 30 secret pages have been discovered among Biden’s private possessions, according to CBS News.
according to a ABC News/Ipsos In a poll conducted on January 20 and 21, 64 percent of American adults have viewed the issue with disapproval.
Only 34 percent of people said Biden handled the classified documents properly.
President Joe Biden faces increasing scrutiny for his handling of classified documents
Biden came under fire from Republican critics for insisting he has “no regrets” about the affair late last week.
But while Sunday’s poll suggests that Biden looks bad to most Americans, it’s a smaller proportion of people who dislike Donald Trump’s debacle with classified documents.
Trump’s months-long back and forth with the National Archives and later the Justice Department culminated in an FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago property last August.
More than 300 classified files were found on the Palm Beach property, according to the New York Times.
Seventy-seven percent of those polled said Trump’s handling of classified documents was inappropriate.
Less than a quarter, 22 percent, believed that it handled the issue appropriately.
Both have had special attorneys appointed to oversee their cases.
Former US prosecutor Robert Hur was chosen this month to take over from Biden, while in November Jack Smith, a former war crimes prosecutor in The Hague, took on Trump.
As for the problems facing the country, Biden is still struggling with the same lackluster approval ratings he’s seen for much of his tenure.
Thirty-eight percent of people said they support his handling of the economy, while 60 percent indicated the opposite.
Similarly, only 31 percent approve of how Biden is handling current inflation rates.
Biden’s border policies are also under fire, with nearly seven in 10 people disapproving of how he is handling the immigration crisis.
