Fifty-four percent of likely U.S. voters believe Joe Biden was involved in Hunter Biden’s business dealings abroad, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll published Monday.
The New York Post in early October published an email chain purportedly showing Hunter Biden’s ties to China’s largest private energy company, which included a promise to pay Joe Biden $10 million a year “for introductions alone.”
Joe Biden has denied the claims.
Forty-four percent consider it very likely that Biden was involved in his son’s business dealings while 38 percent said it was unlikely Biden was involved in his son’s affairs overseas. Twenty-one percent said it was “not likely at all.”
The Post story has been censored by Facebook and Twitter since it was published. But the article generated 2.59 million interactions (likes, comments, shares) two weeks ago on both social media platforms combined and suppression of the story has sparked a Senate Judiciary probe, with GOP lawmakers issuing subpoenas to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
The survey of 1,000 likely U.S. voters was conducted Oct. 22-25. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points.
