Trust in America's premier law enforcement is plummeting amid fears the FBI has become politically biased, new polling finds.
A poll published Wednesday by Rasmussen Reports found that 60% of likely U.S. voters believe that the FBI was involved in covering up the Biden family's alleged crimes. The survey found 48% of respondents thought a cover-up was "very likely" compared to 33% who didn't believe an FBI cover-up was likely.
The poll also found the FBI's favorability rating has fallen underwater for the first time. Only 44% of like voters said they had a favorable views of the bureau, down from 60% in 2018. Independents also held a harsh view with only 36% viewing the bureau in a favorable light.
"It's a big problem," said retired U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, a former GOP presidential candidate. "We need to have established law and order that people understand what the laws are, and that there will be consequences for failure to obey the law. And that has been eroded completely, and that that by design unravels the society
"So then when you lose that level of confidence, it takes a long time to build it back up again. But we have two, that is our challenge. We have to have a complete overhaul of the current DOJ and FBI and the CIA, quite frankly, and we have to restore confidence in the American government," she told the John Solomon Reports podcast.
The survey polled 999 likely U.S. voters and was conducted between June 4 and June 6 with a margin of sampling error of +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. You can see the survey question wording here.
The FBI has drawn a lot of pushback from many people for being politically biased and not disclosing information that the American people have a right to see.
According to a recent report, the FBI was given notice three years ago of allegations concerning Joe Biden’s involvement in a bribery scheme in Ukraine involving $5 million.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) made a bombshell revelation earlier this week in an interview with Just the News, just a day after reviewing an FBI FD-1023 form that memorialized the informant’s allegations, and two days before he plans to hold a vote in Congress to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt for failing to provide a copy to his committee as demanded by a subpoena.
Comer announced Wednesday that he introduced a resolution to hold Wray in contempt of Congress.
"Americans have lost trust in the FBI’s ability to enforce the law impartially and demand accountability," Comer wrote on Twitter. @GOPoversight must follow the facts and ensure the government is held accountable. I just introduced the Resolution to hold FBI Director Wray in contempt of Congress."
So, the other 40% must represent the 81 Million Votes Joey got in 2020?
Chris Wray should step aside.
Man has no morales.
Why should the FIB give a rat’s behind what the public thinks of them?
I thought it was closer to 80% or 90%.

How many of the 60% think it was OK?
33% are lying.
Does it really matter?
Clearly the FBI and DOJ could care less, the keep doubling down on their corruption.
The natural consequence of the fact that the only legal remedy would be defeating the dems AND RINOS in 2024, and that would require controlling vote cheating.
The Hunter Lap-top Cover-up has a lot to do with this. Half a million Truckers knew more about the laptop than the Seventh-floor of the FBI, owing to its wide availability on audible books quite early on. Thanks to the divine Miss Devine.
in retrospect, the 51 co-signers of the “Laptop Deniers” now look like corrupt manipulators to almost everyone ( which is exactly what they are).
40% of the people still going with the flow of never commit to anything just be liked.
The FBI goons are upset so few don’t trust them, They would be happy knowing 100% don’t trust them . And they are working hard to get there.
Fire every FBI employee, burn their buildings to ash, then urinate on the ashes. They are irredeemably corrupt.
Cashier those not covered by union contracts and seniority regs. Cancel the pensions of those for whom “good cause” can be established, and re-build the whole organization from the bottom up, screening carefully as you go.
33 % have something to hide.
Yes I have to assume it is very partisan with Democrats now trusting the FBI by a plurality. Maybe that’s because the FBI is chalk full of Democrats. They are the ones that consumer all the FBI related TV shows. I basically have no interest in any programming that paints the FBI is a positive light.
