FILE – President Joe Biden speaks in the State Dining Room of the White House, Oct. 7, 2023, in Washington. Ethical concerns are casting a shadow over Biden as he seeks reelection amid ongoing investigations into his son Hunter Biden and a presidential impeachment inquiry. A new poll shows that 35% of U.S. adults believe the president himself has done something illegal.
The survey’s findings point toward a U.S. political system riven with cynicism and suspicion. Having fractured along partisan lines, the public largely appears to judge Joe Biden as much based on his party affiliation as the known facts. “Absolutely. I don’t think you have to be intelligent to see that,” said Gardiner, 42, a Pocatello contractor who formerly worked in law enforcement. Gardiner, who voted to reelect Republican Donald Trump as president in 2020, said he feels the country is headed in the wrong direction because “our government’s totally corrupt.”
Trump and his Republican supporters in Congress instead say that Joe Biden and his family are getting a sweetheart deal from prosecutors, while Trump has been hung out to dry by an overly aggressive justice system that does not want to see him as president again. “Oh, man,” he said. “I don’t think either one of them is very ethical at all. This country is all about the money. That’s all either one of them care about: the money.”
An AP-NORC poll conducted in October 2019 — after the House opened the first of two impeachment inquiries into Trump — found that 47% of U.S. adults said they approved of the inquiry, while 38% disapproved. At the time, 38% of Americans said Trump acted illegally in his interactions with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and an additional 29% said he acted unethically. The former president was ultimately impeached by the House but acquitted by the Senate.
