President Joe Biden might thank former President Donald Trump for this: Voters appear to be suffering from impeachment fatigue.
In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey, a majority of voters believe that since becoming president, Biden has committed impeachable “crimes.”

Overall, 52% said the president “has committed high crimes and misdemeanors that would justify Congress impeaching him.” Some 37% said that is “very likely.”
But despite new testimony from government whistle-blowers and a Biden family crony that the president and first son Hunter were engaged in financial hanky panky, support for impeachment has declined, said the Rasmussen analysis reviewed by Secrets.
“The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 38% of likely U.S. voters believe Congress should begin impeachment proceedings against Biden. That’s slightly down from 42% in May. Forty-seven percent (47%) now oppose impeachment, while another 14% are undecided,” said the analysis.
Despite testimony about President Joe Biden’s role in his son Hunter’s foreign business deals, voters are now less likely to support impeachment proceedings than they were three months ago.

And voters think Congress feels like they do and that the House won’t pursue impeachment despite calls from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and others to start. The poll found that 39% believe it is likely Congress will act, and 53% do not.
The typical partisanship was evident in the survey from a pool composed of 36% Democrats, 33% Republicans and 31% independents. Rasmussen, which conducts a running daily poll of the president’s approval rating among voters, has Biden’s at 46%, four points higher than the RealClearPolitics average of 42%.

The impeachment fatigue found in the survey followed the latest legal wranglings for Trump, who pleaded not guilty in a third criminal case launched against him. At least one more indictment is expected.
It also comes after whistle-blowers have claimed that the president’s team interfered in federal probes of Hunter Biden and other verbal charges that both Bidens have profited to the tune of $10 million or more from questionable and overseas deals and bribes.
