Poll: 58 Percent of Voters Want President Biden to be More Aggressive in Leading Global Efforts to Contain China
BUT Majority Say Biden Family’s Business Deals with China Create Conflict of Interest
(Austin, TX—March 06, 2023) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2021—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted February 22nd through February 26th of over 1,000 likely general election voters.
“This poll shows that Americans are rightly concerned about China’s aggressive actions towards the U.S. and want to see leadership from President Biden,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States. “But we are at an alarming and dangerous place when the majority of Americans believe Biden’s hesitations to address the threat from Communist China is the result of jeopardizing his family’s business dealings. Our citizens deserve a full account of any way Biden family members may be entangled with Chinese businesses and how those conflicts will be resolved immediately for the benefit and security of our country. We must have a president that puts our nation’s safety and best interests first.”
