People overwhelmingly believe it likely that President Joe Biden took up to $30 million in bribes in scams connected to first son Hunter Biden, and now even Democrats are starting to believe it’s true.
In the latest test of voter faith in the president’s denials, 56% said that he probably took bribes from sources tied to China, Russia, and Ukraine. Some 27% said they think that it is unlikely. That’s more than a two-to-one gap in the latest I&I/TIPP online survey.

The survey is bad for the White House because it shows voters don’t believe the president. The numbers: Democrats (39% likely vs. 42% unlikely), Republicans (80% likely vs. 9% unlikely), and independents (56% vs. 22%).
The Democrat numbers should be very concerning, the analysis said.
80% of Republicans, 56% of Independents, and 39% of Dems believe it’s “very likely” or “somewhat likely” that Joe Biden and his family “have received up to $30 million from sources connected to foreign governments, including China, Russia, and Ukraine.” https://t.co/UyLy4Qjkei

“When the 2.7-point margin of error is taken into account, even Democrats were split nearly equally on the question of whether Biden took a bribe. The president is in trouble even within his own party,” it said.

It added that just 2 of 36 demographic groups polled showed an edge in support for Biden, liberals and Democrats.
The trust issue and questions of bribery are the latest hurdles Biden is facing in his reelection campaign. But while the survey analysis said it’s looking dark for the president, other public surveys continue to show that he is hanging tough in head-to-head matchups with former President Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL).
