Pushed to the back pages by more pressing news, in particular Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attacks against Israel, allegations of corruption against President Joe Biden and his family have been relegated to the bottom of the news scroll. But it’s still very much an issue for American voters, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
The I&I/TIPP Poll first broached this topic in July, when voters were asked what should be done if charges that Biden’s family had taken more than $30 million in payments from overseas governments and corporations proved true. The poll then began tracking responses in August.
As the data show, little has changed since. If anything, views have congealed somewhat, as potentially damaging revelations continue to dribble out from ongoing congressional investigations into the Biden family’s finances.
In this month’s online national poll, taken Nov. 1-3 from among 1,400 registered voters, 65% agreed that if evidence showed Biden was taking bribes from foreign sources, he should either resign (26%) or be impeached (39%). That includes 49% of Democrats, 84% of Republicans, and 64% of independents.
Apart from impeachment or quitting, three other responses were offered: That Biden would be allowed to finish out his term, but not run again, which was supported by 15% of those responding. Or that Biden should be allowed to finish his term and run again in 2024, which found 10% support. And “not sure,” 11% chose.
The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.7 percentage points.
