POLL: Most Americans and Almost 1/3 of Democrats Think Biden Got ‘Special Treatment’ in Classified Docs Case

A majority of Americans and nearly a third of Democrats believe that President Joe Biden benefitted from “special treatment” during the investigation into his improper retention of classified documents.
Late last week, Special Counsel Robert Hur released a report in which he concluded that while “President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen,” criminal charges were not “warranted.”
In explaining his decision, Hur cited Biden’s cooperation with the investigation and, perhaps most notably, memory issues. He wrote:
“At trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” concluded Hur.
While the White House and many in progressive media have complained that Hur’s description of Biden was gratuitous, those protests are out-of-step with public opinion.
According to a new poll from Reuters/Ipsos released on Tuesday, 53% of respondents and 29% of Democrats agreed with the idea that “Biden received special treatment because he is the U.S. president.”
The same survey found that 78% of Americans and a whopping 71% of Democrats believe Biden is too old to continue to work out of the Oval Office.
Those figures track with an ABC News/Ipsos roll released over the weekend that found that 86% of Americans and 73% of Democrats believe Biden is too old to serve another term.
