Most voters say Joe and Hunter’s business deals and links to alleged bribery scheme ARE serious
Majority of Americans say Joe and Hunter’s business deals and links to alleged bribery scheme ARE serious: BidenGate gets real as new poll shows half of DEMOCRATS believe ‘influence peddling’ scheme a scandal is
- 69 percent of American voters say they take BidenGate seriously
- That goes for most independents and nearly half of Biden’s own Democrats
- Steve Bannon: “It’s the American people who are waking up to this.”
Seven in 10 Americans say an alleged bribery and influence scheme involving President Joe Biden, his son Hunter and other family members amounts to a scandal, new polls show.
The Rasmussen Reports poll comes as House Republicans ramp up their investigation into allegations that the Bidens received millions of dollars in payments from foreign entities in China and Romania.
The nationwide poll of nearly 1,000 voters found that 69 percent said the alleged foreign-influenced trading by the Bidens was a serious scandal, with more than half calling it “very serious.”
Worse for the president, it’s not just Republican voters who see this as inappropriate.
Nearly nine in ten Republican voters condemn Bidens’ misconduct, but so do about three-quarters of independents and nearly half of supporters of the president’s own Democratic Party.
Steve Bannon, a top ally of former President Donald Trump who is running to become Biden’s Republican challenger in the 2024 election, said the poll showed how voters woke up to dodgy trading.
The nationwide poll of nearly 1,000 voters found that 69 percent of respondents said the alleged foreign-influenced trading by the Bidens was a serious scandal.
The polls show American voters are increasingly concerned about Republican allegations about the business dealings of Hunter Biden, pictured here, and other members of the power family.
“It’s the American people who are waking up to this, haven’t really heard much about it, because it’s been suppressed,” Bannon said on his War Room show.
“There has been a blackout of this information.”
The investigation was conducted nationwide from May 8 to 10, when Republicans on the House Oversight Committee provided an update on the Biden family’s “shady” business deals.
The committee, chaired by James Comer, has released a āSecond Records Memorandumā expanding on information it has received from subpoenas as the committee investigates the business practices of the Biden family.
The memo outlines the Biden family’s ties to Romanian “influence peddling” and a web of LLCs that sprang up while Biden was vice president.
It also accuses President Biden of a “lack of transparency” regarding his family’s receipt of money from China, which he said is “untrue.”
It details the family’s efforts to hide, hide and confuse sources of money ā including more China money, according to an aide to the committee.
The committee headed by chairman James Comer released a “Second Records Memorandum” this week that provides more information about the Biden family’s business dealings.

The Republican investigators are under pressure to show the results of their investigation and show that the payments were part of an influence scheme family members used to enrich themselves when Biden was vice president.
Rasmussen, a right-wing pollster, asked respondents “how serious a scandal” engulfed the Bidens. Other polling outfits typically avoid leading questions that might send an answer.
Answering a second question, two-thirds of voters said the scandal was about “the entire Biden family, including the president.” That included 87 percent of Republicans and 43 percent of Democrats.
“These numbers are only going up,” said Rasmussen’s top researcher, Mark Mitchell.
