Majority of Americans Think FBI Acting Like 'Joe Biden's Personal Gestapo'

A new Rasmussen poll shows just how far the opinion of the FBI has dropped in the eyes of the American public since the raid they conducted on the home of President Donald Trump.

44 percent of likely U.S. voters say the raid has made them trust the FBI less, compared to 29 percent who say it made them trust the bureau more.
A majority of Americans — 53 percent — think that the FBI is “Joe Biden’s personal Gestapo.”

This is where the Biden team has taken one of our previously vaunted law enforcement agencies — banana republic land. That’s a deep problem when we are built on the equal application of the rule of law, not the rule of men.

The only thing that’s saving the FBI from going completely underwater is the opinion of Democrats. But meanwhile, the Republicans and independents trust them much less.
 
Approval of the FBI, including its raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, is highest among Democratic voters. Seventy-five percent (75%) of Democrats now have a favorable opinion of the FBI, up from 63% in December. Only 30% of Republicans now view the FBI favorably, down from 38% in December; nearly half (49%) of GOP voters now have a Very Unfavorable impression of the FBI. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, 45% have a favorable impression of the FBI and 50% view the bureau unfavorably.

Fifty percent (50%) of Democrats say the FBI’s recent raid on Trump’s home made them trust the FBI more, but 70% of Republicans say the Mar-a-Lago raid made them trust the FBI less. Among unaffiliated voters, 46% say the raid on Trump made them trust the FBI less, while 18% said it made them trust the FBI more and 29% say the Trump raid did not make much difference in their trust in the FBI.
