EXCLUSIVE: 77% of Iowa Republicans want Biden impeached NOW for millions his family received through Hunter’s foreign deals, poll shows

More than three-quarters of Iowa Republicans want Congress to immediately begin impeaching President Joe Biden for links to his son Hunter’s shady foreign business dealings, an exclusive poll for DailyMail.com has found.

The JL Partners survey found that 77 percent of GOP supporters likely to attend the highly anticipated Iowa state primaries in January want the president examined on his family finances.

The growing call for Biden’s impeachment follows damning testimony from Hunter’s business partner Devon Archer and the release of bank records showing the Biden family and associates were awarded $20 million from business interests in Russia, China and Kazakhstan.

However, the poll found that Iowa Republicans are wary that impeachment could be a distraction leading into the 2024 presidential election, and that addressing issues such as the economy should be the priority.

Still, more than two-thirds of Iowa caucus attendees say they want Congress to “focus on other issues” this year — such as the economy, abortion, and how to deal with student loan debt — rather than making efforts for impeaching President Biden for his involvement in his son Hunter’s business

DailyMail.com publishes the poll results as the Republican presidential candidates head to Iowa for the State Fair.

Iowa is vital to their ambitions in the White House as the state will host the first major game of the 2024 primary on January 15 with their primaries for Republican voters.

The poll results present House Speaker Kevin McCarthy with a dilemma: Will he side with Trump allies in an attack on the president or will he listen to Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell push for caution?

The grassroots in Iowa make it clear where they stand.

In our poll of 600 Republicans, only 14 percent said they opposed impeachment proceedings.

Among Trump supporters, the share of those wanting an immediate start skyrockets to 95 percent. That drops to 79 percent among Ron DeSantis supporters and 74 percent among Tim Scott supporters.

“Speaker McCarthy is already feeling pressure from his members to impeach President Biden — now the voters who will crown the winner of the first 2024 caucus also want to impeach Biden,” said James Johnson, co-founder of JL Partners.

“The signs are that voters will reward those who hit Biden hard and push for his impeachment — though candidates should be careful not to suggest that impeachment would be at the expense of all other issues.”

The poll was conducted from April 1 to 7, and the results have a margin of error of +/- four percent.

They show that while Iowa Republicans are eager to start impeachment proceedings, they also say it shouldn’t come at the expense of other important issues.

Only 32 percent said this should be the priority for Republicans in the coming year. About 64 percent said they should focus on other things first.

The results will give a strong indication of who has enough support to compete for a spot on the ticket – and try to close the gap to front-runner Trump.

Powerful GOP lawmakers, such as those who run oversight and judicial committees, allege that Hunter used his father’s influence to enrich the Biden family and that the president was involved, at least in part, in the scheme.

The issue exploded in public opinion on Wednesday.

President Biden was forced to face the allegations against him and his son when he was confronted by Fox News’ Peter Doocy at a wind farm in New Mexico. Biden insisted he “never” spoke to Hunter about business.

Instead of talking about the issue, Biden pivoted on offense. “I knew you’d have a stupid question,” he said.

“Why is that a worthless question?” Doocy asked, to which Biden clapped back with, “Because it’s not true.

All of this puts House Speaker McCarthy in a precarious position as he faces pressure from pro-Trump grassroots to impeach, while centrists are more cautious.

Senator McConnell weighed in this week and told the New York Times, “Impeachment should be rare. This is not good for the country.’

Some die-hard Trumpers want revenge for the two House impeachments of the former president, others want to hold Biden accountable for what they believe is involvement in his son’s business dealings. Meanwhile, centrists and vulnerable Republicans are not sold on impeachment.

There’s even a fight between MAGA darling Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Lauren Boebert (R-Col.) as they argue over their competing bills to launch an impeachment inquiry against the president.

The poll also provides an update on the overall race standings among likely Iowa Republican caucus attendees.

It suggests Trump’s third indictment last week hasn’t dampened supporters’ enthusiasm.

Trump leads the pack by 26 points on 43 percent support. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is second with 17 percent and Iowa Senator Tim Scott (RS.C.) is third with 11 percent.

It means DeSantis has lost nine points since the poll was last conducted in April, and it means more bad news after he restarted his campaign this week.
