National Survey of 1,157 U.S. Likely Voters
Conducted October 28-30, 2025

By Rasmussen Reports

 

1* Many pardons and executive orders issued under President Biden were signed by a machine called an autopen. How likely is it that, when Joe Biden was president, members of his White House staff used the autopen to sign documents without Biden’s knowledge or approval?

 

 

2* A congressional investigation recently concluded that “as President Biden’s [mental and physical] condition deteriorated, his aides exercised presidential authority and facilitated executive actions without his direct authorization, including misusing the autopen and failing to properly document decision-making processes.” Should aides to President Biden be criminally prosecuted for unauthorized actions during his administration?
