Poll: 52% of voters want Biden's aides prosecuted over autopen use

A total of 52% of voters want former President Biden's aides prosecuted for allegedly unauthorized use of his autopen, according to a new poll.

Rasmussen Reports released a poll on Monday that found 52% of voters believe Biden's aides should face criminal prosecution for unauthorized actions during his administration, with 32% who disagreed and 17% who were unsure.

A total of 55% of likely voters said it is likely that, while Biden was president, his White House staff used the autopen to sign documents without his knowledge or approval. Meanwhile, 33% do not believe that happened, while 12% were not sure.

Broken down by party, 75% of Republicans, 36% of Democrats, and 44% of unaffiliated voters said that Biden’s aides should be criminally prosecuted.

The poll follows the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform's report last week that concluded, “as President Biden’s [mental and physical] condition deteriorated, his aides exercised presidential authority and facilitated executive actions without his direct authorization, including misusing the autopen and failing to properly document decision-making processes.”

The poll of 1,157 U.S. likely voters was conducted Oct. 28-30, with a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points.
