Biden's Pardon of Hunter Faces 48% Public Disapproval
Dec 11, 2024, 07:09 PM
Recent polls indicate that President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, has met with significant public disapproval. According to an AP-NORC poll, only about 22% of Americans approve of the pardon, with 48% disapproving and 25% unsure, as reported by YouGov. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that Biden's approval rating stands at 56% disapproval. This decision has stirred controversy, particularly among Democrats, who have criticized the move despite its alignment with historical precedents of presidential pardons. Public sentiment reflects disappointment, with some Americans feeling that Biden has gone back on his word, as he had explicitly stated he would not pardon his son. Approval rates vary by political affiliation, with 38% of Democrats, 12% of Independents, and 7% of Republicans approving the pardon.
