A total of 60% of Americans think Biden acted inappropriately in the way he handled the sensitive materials, a poll report said on Wednesday. A significant majority of Republicans, 84%, believe Biden mishandled the documents, in contrast to just 38% of Democrats, the poll found. Two-thirds of Americans are following news regarding the documents either very or somewhat closely, the poll also found. Moreover, 71% believe the situation is either serious or somewhat serious, the report said. Earlier this month, the government publicly acknowledged a probe into Biden’s handling of classified materials after his lawyers discovered sensitive documents in a think-tank office, and later at a Biden residence.
