US voters back Biden impeachment inquiry by 12 points, believe he was involved in Hunter's shady business deals: poll

A new poll has revealed that almost half of American voters support an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, and around six in 10 say that it is likely Joe Biden was inappropriately involved in his son Hunter’s business dealings.

The Dailymail.com/JL Partners poll of 1,000 likely voters found that 35 percent of voters strongly support an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, compared to 27 percent who were strongly opposed to it. An additional 12 percent of voters somewhat supported an inquiry, while 8 percent somewhat opposed the inquiry.

Among Democrats alone, 22 percent of voters said they somewhat or strongly backed the probe.

38 percent of voters said it was very likely that "Joe Biden was inappropriately involved in his son’s business dealings, while 20 percent said it was "quite likely." 22 percent said it was very unlikely, and 11 percent said it was quite unlikely. 

One-third of Democrats said it was very or quite likely that Biden was inappropriately involved in his son’s overseas business dealings.

The poll asked voters to use one word to describe Hunter Biden, with the top answer given by voters being "corrupt." Other popular answers included "bad," "criminal," "crook," and "guilty."

Hunter Biden had been subpoenaed by House GOP to appear for a closed-door deposition on December 13, but instead, spoke on the Capitol lawn and defied the subpoena, saying that he would only speak in a public hearing, against House rules.

49 percent of voters said that Hunter should attend the closed-door hearing, compared to 32 percent who said he is right to insist an open hearing. An additional 19 percent were unsure.
