Results of the poll also showed that only 10% of respondents are undecided, while one-third believe Biden was not involved in the deals.

The poll was conducted as the US House Oversight Committee looked to investigate suspected crimes, including corruption and influence peddling, committed by the Biden family. James Comer, the panel's chairman earlier this month, called the suspected behavior "organized crime".
The investigation by the committee is based in part on claims made by a confidential FBI informant that Joe and Hunter Biden got millions of dollars from a Ukrainian energy firm. Additionally, lawmakers are looking into deals allegedly tied to China.
