The classified documents probe into President Joe Biden appears to be gaining bipartisan support, bringing unavoidable speculation about whether this could be the preamble to an impeachment drive.
According to Yahoo News, a Yahoo News/YouGov found that nearly two-thirds of Americans and a surprisingly large percentage of Democrats support a congressional investigation into Biden’s mishandling of classified documents.
The poll, released Wednesday, found that 64 percent of U.S. adults and 52 percent of Democrats are in favor of lawmakers “investigating the classified documents found at Biden’s home and post-vice-presidential office,” according to the New York Post.
By comparison, 16 percent of Americans and 27 percent of Democrats opposed Congress probing Biden over the documents.
The Yahoo News/YouGov poll of 1,538 adults was conducted through online interviews from Jan. 12 to 16, Yahoo News reported; the margin of error was 2.7 percent.
