The survey examined claims that US President Joe Biden isn’t “running the show” in Washington. | Polling has consistently shown a majority of US voters believe President Joe Biden is too old to serve as commander-in-chief. Now, a new survey provides insight into Americans’ perceptions of who is running things behind the scenes. ● Conservative pollster Rasmussen Reports asked respondents whether they agreed or disagreed with the statement, “Joe Biden is not ‘running the show’ at the White House. He’s a puppet for a progressive left committee… headed by Obama.” Thirty-seven percent of people polled said they agreed “strongly” with the statement, while 16% said they “somewhat” agreed. The result comes despite the fact the former president has only visited the Biden White House a handful of times since his inauguration in 2021. ● Respondents were also asked a similar question about how likely they believe it is that former US President Barack Obama is “influencing the policies of the Biden administration.” Some 63% responded it was “very” or “somewhat” likely the former president has influence, with 53% of Democrats agreeing with the statement.
