Most voters doubt Biden impeachment inquiry: Poll.
Majority of Voters See Impeachment Inquiry as Partisan Political Stunt
A recent poll conducted by the left-leaning Congressional Integrity Project and Public Policy Polling reveals that a majority of voters believe an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden would be more of a partisan exercise rather than a serious criminal investigation. This sentiment is shared by independent voters as well, who view it as an attempt to undermine the president’s chances in the 2024 election.
According to the poll, 56% of voters consider an impeachment inquiry to be politically motivated, while only 38% believe it would be a genuine effort to investigate important issues. Among independent voters, 53% see it as a partisan stunt that could potentially harm Republicans with a crucial voter bloc.
Impeachment Inquiry Seen as Effort to Damage Biden’s Reelection Campaign
The survey also reveals that 51% of voters, including 51% of independents, believe that an impeachment inquiry would be intended to damage President Biden’s chances in his reelection campaign.
These findings come at a time when House Republican leaders are considering moving forward with an impeachment inquiry next month. Speaker Kevin McCarthy has described it as the “natural step forward” in light of ongoing investigations into allegations of financial misconduct involving Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.
However, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has denounced the idea, calling it “illegitimate” and accusing Republicans of taking orders from former President Donald Trump. Jeffries argues that the proposal is merely a continuation of their efforts to persecute Joe Biden.
Uncertainty remains regarding whether McCarthy will hold a vote on the impeachment inquiry, as some vulnerable Republicans have expressed reservations. There is speculation that McCarthy may proceed with the inquiry without a vote, a move that has drawn criticism from House Democrats.
Majority of Voters Support House Vote on Impeachment Inquiry
The poll also indicates that 59% of voters believe the House should hold a vote to authorize an inquiry, while 30% consider a vote unnecessary. Additionally, 61% of respondents believe that Biden should not be impeached unless evidence is found of bribery or acting on behalf of his son.
The Congressional Integrity Project poll surveyed 606 voters from August 23-24 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
