A recent AP-NORC poll reveals that roughly 20% of Americans support President Biden’s decision to pardon his son Hunter, a move that contradicted his earlier promises and sparked widespread criticism in Washington.
The survey indicates approximately half of respondents oppose the December 1st pardon, which followed Hunter Biden’s convictions on gun and tax charges, while another fifth remain neutral on the issue.
The Biden regime STILL have not answered for Hunter’s pardon, and zero Democrats have addressed why the pardon begins in 2014.
They started WW3 to launder our tax dollars through Ukraine, and they have no intention of being held accountable for it.

Prior to the pardon, Biden had consistently maintained he wouldn’t use his presidential powers to benefit family members. The White House continued this stance even after Trump’s November victory, until their sudden reversal.
“I know it’s not right to believe politicians as far as what they say compared to what they do, but he did explicitly say, ‘I will not pardon my son,'” said Peter Prestia, a 59-year-old Republican from Woodland Park, New Jersey.
When announcing the pardon, Biden characterized the Justice Department’s prosecution as a “miscarriage of justice,” employing rhetoric similar to Trump’s descriptions of his own legal challenges.
According to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, Biden grappled with the decision, ultimately acting due to the politically charged nature of the cases.
The poll shows varying support across party lines, with about 40% of Democrats approving, while most Republicans and half of independents disapprove.
“Do you have kids?” questioned Robert Jenkins, a 63-year-old Democratic lumber yard owner from Gallipolis, Ohio. “You’re gonna leave office and not pardon your kid? I mean, it’s a no-brainer to me.”
"He didn't even have the guts to take questions about it [Hunter's pardon]."
"This is a monumental disgrace. He [Biden] is going out of office as one of the least liked and most divisive Presidents we've had."

The survey reveals demographic differences in support, with older adults showing slightly more approval than younger generations. Racial disparities are also evident, with white adults expressing stronger disapproval compared to Hispanic and Black respondents.
“Don’t say you’re gonna do something and then fall back,” remarked Trinell Champ, a 43-year-old Democrat from Nederland, Texas, expressing disappointment in Biden’s reversal.
Despite the controversy surrounding the pardon, Biden’s overall approval rating remains relatively stable at around 40%, consistent with previous AP-NORC polls since early 2022.
