GOP Disaster As Just 5% Of Americans Want Biden Investigation


A recent poll from Suffolk University revealed that just 5% of Americans want House Republicans to investigate the Biden administration.

According to the Suffolk University Poll on 2023 national issues, investigating the Biden administration ranks seventh on the list of national priorities with only 5% support.

If House Republicans try to make an issue out of investigating Biden, they will be quickly seen through by the vast majority of Americans as the same poll also found that 51% of respondents said that any investigations into Biden are a political effort to embarrass the Biden administration, and 38% expressed the belief that the investigations are an appropriate way to hold Biden accountable.

Thirty-eight percent is a key number in US public opinion polling because it represents the top end of Republican support. Typically the Republican view comes in at 35%-38% in polls.

The fact that just 38%feel that Biden investigations are appropriate suggests that the support is almost all in the Republican Party.

House Republicans are unlikely to be able to pass any serious or meaningful legislation with their four-seat majority. They are counting on keeping the base happy with investigations into Biden, but the nation as a whole sees investigating as a low priority, so every minute that Jim Jordan and his Republican colleagues spend investigating Biden will contribute to their failure and downfall.

1. They were so successful in smearing Hillary, they think they can do the same with Biden

Big mistake. They had 30 years to smear Hillary. Biden has been pretty much out of their target area. Also he’s not a woman, making it much harder to slander him. And I really don’t think there is any there there anyway. They will lie and lie and lie, but it’ll just be so much farting in the wind

[Croney]

2. If 5% want the investigation, but 38% expressed the belief

that the investigations are appropriate, I have definitely misunderstood something.

[CrispyQ]

6. Took me a few mintues, too.

5% of Americans but 38% of republicans. I think that explains it.

[Croney]

7. Ah. Thank you.

[cilla4progress]

26. Not clear

from the article. Are you sure? Following sentence seems to say 38% = die-hard Rs in total population?

[CrispyQ]

39. Yeah, it's not very well written.

But the survey is online.

https://www.suffolk.edu/-/media/suffolk/documents/academics/research-at-suffolk/suprc/polls/national/2022/12_14_2022_marginals_embargoed_part_3.pdf

I wish more articles would include this! They surveyed 1000 registered voters. Almost 34% of respondents came from the south, 24% from the midwest, & about 21% each for the northeast & the west. Seems skewed heavy for the red states.

[cilla4progress]

40. Great minds and all that..

I attached it below.

[Lucky Luciano]

9. 5% think it should be a high priority.

Still some could see it as appropriate, so not in the 5%, but in the 38% seems possible tge way it’s worded.

[thesquanderer]

21. Headline/article is wrong. Lots more than 5% want investigation, but only 5% consider it #1 priority

[Celerity]

34. This is the correct answer. PoliticusUSA is an iffy site, above Palmer Report, but still not solid

[cilla4progress]

35. Poorly written headline...

thanks!

[thesquanderer]

42. Yes, I'm especially wary of stuff by Jason Easley, which is a lot of it (n/t)

[BComplex]

3. That would contribute to republicans' downfall IF the democrats repeat repeat repeat it

during the coming election. Just how much they wasted taxpayer money and time by trying to be playground bullies.

[calimary]

24. And that's a good way to word it.

“Just how much they wasted taxpayer money and time by trying to be playground bullies.“

[Laura PourMeADrink]

38. What's utterly ironic is that it's the exact same thing

That many of them say about investigating TFG. And venture to say that's exactly what their comeback will be

[BComplex]

45. The difference being that one is true.

It will be apparent.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

47. Of course. But it's a fact that they think it and that TFG

Reinforces it. No one, nothing has been effective in drastically diminishing it. Such a dilemma - we are between a rock and a hard place. Obviously can't ignore criminality but calling it out fuels the FG & his crazies.

[Lovie777]

4. And the GQP are still going forward with frivolous investigations ....

and nothing else. GQP don't govern for the masses just take, steal, cheat, voter suppression, no healthcare, screwed up education policies, fucked up gerrymandering, insane conspiracies, and pocketing all the wealth for themselves.

[Marius25]

5. When have Republicans ever cared what the people want?

[twodogsbarking]

8. Should Republicans even be counted as Americans?

[ananda]

11. Good question! More like Russian nazis.

nt

[liberalla]

10. This is my first 'read' on DU this morning... what a GREAT way to start my day!

Yep, this is a problem for the pukes!

[Alexander Of Assyria]

14. Anybody asking? Investigate for WHAT? Too much intelligence, empathy and savvy?

Be my guest!

What passes for serious discussion in R circles wouldn’t be debated on a playground.

[jaxexpat]

12. Your last statement proscribes the inevitable.

That's a good thing but time is our enemy. We live in a nation divided into 24 month increments of possibility. It's possible the Republicans implode. It's also possible the Republicans prevent the next 24 month adjustment. The inevitability is that there are always "conservatives" who would gladly toss the whole thing in favor of a fascist dictatorship.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

16. Nail on head, sir! 24 month political increments, never ending campaigns, governing an

afterthought. All juiced by infinite money…to the media mainly.

Budget stumbles from year to year on political warts, no time for planning, little time for governing…as the media wants it it seems…lot of money for media in the never ending campaigns! Exemption, military spending, np!

Meanwhile China has one year, 5 year, 10 year and 50 year actual plans and budgets!

Little wonder America frets over being overtaken, in every way…but what does it matter if #2?

[Initech]

13. So let me guess - those 5% are AM radio and Fox News hosts?

[bucolic_frolic]

15. There's nothing to investigate except cultural issues the GOP disagrees with

Their motives will be transparent and the vast majority of the general public will not sign on.

[wryter2000]

17. Lord

I would think you could get more than 5% for anything.

[machoneman]

18. Time and money spend on any Biden stuff takes away from their most pressing needs:

Restore confidence that votes for real, non-MAGA R's count. That and a slew of other vote building work at the state level to try and defeat us liberals.

Ah, but revenge is in the air!

Btw, yes, we as taxpayers literally pay for House shenanigans but outside ant-Biden groups will funnel money into these sham investigations at the local level to influence media. Just look at all the complaints they already voice about the failed Musk driven investigations about Twitter, FBI, CIA to silence the most violent speech by MAGATS!

[LaMouffette]

19. The House Repubes will accomplish nothing positive. What a waste! Time is money, taxpayer money.

I wish we could sue each one of them personally over the time and taxpayer dollars wasted over the Benghazi investigation. If they had to take a personal financial hit, maybe they would be a bit more reluctant to embark on these politically motivated hearings.

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

20. Fortunately for Republicans...

... they will continue to score high with the all-important "people whose votes actually matter" demographic.

[Different Drummer]

22. Clutch the pearls!

[murielm99]

23. They witchhunted Clinton and

that made him popular enough that people wanted him to have a third term.

Go ahead and investigate Biden.

[cilla4progress]

28. Totally!

Of course misogyny killed Hillary's campaign...

[Warpy]

25. They've grown as arrogant as the Russian Politburo

and won't give a shit whether or not 95% of us don't want them bogged down in stupid and useless investigations instead of maybe doing their jobs. They will grandstand and "investigate," demanding TV time to try to market their bullshit to people who know better.

They'd be much better off if they kept a low profile for the next two years, quietly renaming post offices and preventing any real legislation from passing through the House. It's what they do best.

They won't, of course, they'll hoot and holler and quiver their jowls and throw total hissy fits over nothing and they'll convince people that party is lost in foolishness.

Let the games begin.

And maybe if the sitting Congress had done something to reinstate the rights of so many women to timely, gender specific health care, more of them might have been reelected.

[Ford_Prefect]

27. They will do it anyway to distract from their lack of leadership and meaningful policy.

GOP operating procedure is to denigrate, lie, and fulminate about the lies not being answered. Never, Never, Never do they operate in public acknowledgement of the observable simple truth. As long as the Dark Money wants single party rule that is what they'll do, even to the extent of capsizing the party.

For over 30 years they have recruited candidates to this specific end who value party loyalty and owning the Libs above ANY OTHER VALUES. The entire GOP leadership is a cabal of Constitution hating, self-dealing, Christo-Fascist zealots who will do ANYTHING their ultra-rich Christian Nationalist patrons demand. That is the contemporary GOP in plain language.

They falsely claim to be conservatives but they are far more Libertarian than they would care to admit.

[AngryOldDem]

29. GOP's destroying itself.

Just wait until the speakership vote.

🍿😂

[Doodley]

30. I want an investigation into Biden's administration to report on why it is so much better than TFG.

[emulatorloo]

31. Kick and Rec. GOP House is as self-destructive as Elon Musk.

[Traildogbob]

32. Just now watching

Pelosi in the House. It makes me deathly sick in my stomach and heart how GQP have spent their lives to destroy this amazing leader that has dedicated everything for the people of this country.
The clips of trumps arrogant ass bullshit in the Doc created an anger that is not healthy for anyone. To think of all she has done for this country and to have to hear a word from MTG and all the traitorous clowns smear shit on her name, like they did inside our house, they might as well shit on and burn the flag and the constitution.
This woman is one of the greatest American's in our history. A bucket list wish for me would be to meet her and thank her for her service. What she gave to this country overshadows my 8 years of Navy far and above. Thank you Madame Speaker, and go straight to hell all you right wing idiots. Just to think McCathey and his noodle spine and free lying tactics would ever sit in her seat and be a puppet MTG and trump is one of the most disgraceful things our country has done in politics. Democracy my ass.
Thank God we had Nancy as long as we have. This is the Hero we need, not $100 digital images of trump in tights.

[YoshidaYui]

33. I bet there is a percentage

Who want fellow Americans dead, coming with their guns. SMH. People need to be Educated!

[Richard D]

36. I wonder where Hunter's laptop

fits on that list. Probably way less than 5%

[cilla4progress]

37. THE POLL

https://www.suffolk.edu/-/media/suffolk/documents/academics/research-at-suffolk/suprc/polls/national/2022/12_14_2022_marginals_embargoed_part_3.pdf?la=en&hash=611506AEDB48BD57F7E6D4D0ADDA0482833AB095

[republianmushroom]

41. any one want to guess who that 5% is ?

[dalton99a]

43. The traitors and criminals don't care about what Americans want or don't want.

[newdayneeded]

44. But, everything's ok

They decided to do a Poll on truth social, and BOOM, they found 85% for wanting to investigate Hunter Biden's laptop.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

46. They'll do it anyhow

And look like even bigger dumbasses.
