About half of Americans have little or no confidence that the Justice Department is handling its investigation into Hunter Biden in a fair and nonpartisan way.
An August AP-NORC poll, for example, found that 85% of Democrats but just 16% of Republicans approved of the Justice Department’s indictment of Trump in the federal case involving allegations that he worked illegally to overturn results of the 2020 presidential election.
There was a similar partisan divide in beliefs that Trump did something illegal in the Florida classified documents case, his role in what happened at theZumbusch said he has confidence in the rank-and-file Justice Department; it's the agency's leadership that troubles him. “My big concern is the people who have connections with any administration that's in power,” he said. “I feel like they tend to be influenced, whether it's Republicans in power, or Democrats in power. I think they feel their boss is the administration.” The poll shows a majority of Americans, 56%, say they’ve heard at least some about the investigations into Hunter Biden, although only 18% say they’ve heard a lot. Republicans are more likely than Democrats to say they’ve heard at least some about the investigations and that they’ve heard a lot . Among Republicans, those who say they’ve heard at least some about the investigations are more likely than those who have heard less to say they are highly concerned about whether Joe Biden committed wrongdoing and that they have little to no confidence that the Justice Department’s investigation is fair . Among Democrats, those who are paying at least some attention to the investigations are no more or less likely than others to be concerned about Joe Biden’s role, and are actually somewhat more likely than those paying less attention to say they’re highly confident in the Justice Department’s investigation being fair, 42% to 24%. Ryan Laiche, 44, a Democrat from Wheaton, Illinois, said if you are paying attention to the news, it's obvious Garland is working independently and fairly. House Republicans, he says, are hellbent on making Biden look bad to distract from Trump's crimes. “It's an investigation looking for a crime,” he said. “We knew this was going to happen when Republicans took over the House. They're so predictable. But they can't answer any of the questions ... was Biden involved? If he was, prosecute him, impeach him. If there's legitimate evidence. But therein lies the rub - there's no evidence.”The poll of 1,146 adults was conducted Sept. 7-11, 2023, using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 3.9 percentage points. Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
