Over half of American voters believe that the Biden family has accepted payments from foreign nationals in order to influence politics in Washington D.C., according to a new poll from the Convention of States Action and the Trafalgar Group.

President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, is currently the subject of a House Oversight Committee investigation which is looking into his conduct and business transactions while overseas during his time on the board of the Ukrainian company Burisma. According to a new poll released Wednesday, 53.3% of respondents believed that the Biden family had accepted bribes from foreign officials, while 34% indicated that they believed in the family’s innocence.

“As a result of the ongoing Congressional investigation into Hunter Biden, do you believe the Biden family received payments from foreign nationals to influence policy in Washington, D.C.,” the poll asked

While a majority of voters expressed concerns about the Bidens’ behavior, the majority of Democratic voters said that they did not believe that the president and his family “received payments,” according to the poll. Only 11.2% of the party said that they did believe the White House family accepted payments and 23.5% indicated that they were not sure.

Republican voters overwhelmingly responded that they believed the Bidens accepted influence payments at 89.8%, with only 4.8% expressing their support for the president and his family, while the remaining 5.5% of GOP respondents were unsure, according to the poll. A large portion of Independent voters also indicated they believed that the Bidens had accepted payments in exchange for political favors, with 50% responding yes and 28.9% saying no.

House Republicans have been pressuring FBI Director Chris Wray to release a series of documents that an FBI whistleblower claims show the president’s involvement in a “pay to play” scheme during his time as vice president. The Oversight Committee also published a report on May 10 that revealed the Biden family had received $10 million from multiple Romanian and Chinese sources over the years.

“While Biden uses his weaponized DOJ to target Trump with an unprecedented prosecution, his family used the office of the Vice President and President to sell access to foreign leaders,” Mark Meckler, President of the Convention of States, said in a press release. “The congressional investigation is not even complete and this poll shows the majority of the Americans have already seen enough documented proof to believe a disgraceful and illegal scam was/is being run by President Biden’s family. This is an affront to our country and the DOJ and FBI are continuing to subvert justice and cover for the Biden crime syndicate.”

The poll was conducted from June 5 through June 9 with 1,088 respondents and a response rate of 1.45%. The poll’s margin of error was listed at 2.9%, with a confidence rate of 95%.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
