绝大多数美国人认为，总统乔·拜登和前总统唐纳德·特朗普在他们的问题上行为不当机密文件的处理，但在权衡其严重性时，大多数公众认为特朗普的行为更严重新的ABC新闻/益普索民意调查发现。
超过四分之三的公众，77%，认为法宝他处理机密文件的方式不恰当，而64%的人说拜登(姓氏)。谴责不出所料地与政党路线一致，96%的民主党人表示特朗普对机密文件的处理不当，而共和党人的比例为47%。
根据美国广播公司新闻/益普索利用益普索知识小组进行的民意调查，超过80%的独立人士(83%)认为特朗普的行为是不恰当的。
对拜登在这件事上的行动的反应也因党派而异，89%的共和党人表示拜登对机密文件的处理不当，相比之下，民主党人和三分之二的无党派人士(66%)的比例为38%。
拜登和特朗普都受到严格审查，因为他们发现了位于私人物品或不安全设施中的机密文件，而不是存放在他们所属的国家档案馆，尽管每个案件都有重大差异。
本月早些时候，有报道披露，11月份在拜登位于华盛顿特区的一间办公室里发现了少量此类文件。此后，在他位于特拉华州威尔明顿的家中发现了更多文件。
白宫坚持认为，助手们在得知拜登的文件后立即联系了档案馆，并与司法部充分合作。另一方面，特朗普，面临指控来自DOJ的妨碍司法公正，此前他的团队据称在最初努力检索储存在他Mar-a-Lago家中的机密文件时遗漏了关键细节，并向调查人员提出了多项毫无根据或虚假的指控。
两人现在都面临司法部指派的特别律师的调查。
这项民意调查是在《周六揭秘》之前进行的DOJ调查人员发现了额外的机密文件在联邦调查局对拜登在特拉华州的家进行搜查后。
为此，这项民意调查发现，两倍多的美国人认为特朗普的行为比拜登更严厉，43%的人说特朗普的行为是“更严重的问题”，20%的人说拜登的行为更严重。尽管如此，仍有近三分之一的公众(30%)认为两者的行为同样严重。
党派分歧再次显示了鲜明的对比，84%的绝大多数民主党人表示特朗普的行为更严重，而只有7%的共和党人持相同观点。尽管他们可能会给前总统更多的回旋余地，但共和党人在这里似乎不太乐观，只有微弱多数(53%)的共和党人认为拜登对机密文件的处理更为严重。
无党派人士更有可能说特朗普的行为比拜登更严重，比例为43%比14%。
当谈到新的国会和共和党人准备启动几项调查的时候债务上限问题迫在眉睫的摊牌这项ABC新闻/益普索民意调查发现，共和党在这个国家的声誉开始不稳定，他们的不支持率很高，比民主党还高。
近四分之三——72%——的美国人不赞成国会共和党人的工作方式。民主党的支持率也在下降，60%的人不赞成。
当谈到对拜登作为总统所做工作的评估时，他在几个关键领域的工作支持率继续下降。大多数美国人仍然对他处理经济问题的方式持批评态度，67%的人不赞成他处理通货膨胀的方式，60%的人反对他处理油价和整体经济的方式。
拜登在其他领域也得分较低，在移民和边境问题上的不支持率为67%，在枪支暴力问题上的不支持率为66%，在犯罪问题上的不支持率为58%。这些数字与中期选举前的投票相比基本没有变化。
在他如何处理这个问题上，这个国家的意见更为一致俄罗斯入侵乌克兰不赞成和赞成的比例分别为51比46。在向乌克兰提供多少支持的问题上，46%的多数美国人认为美国在支持乌克兰方面做得“差不多”,尽管三分之一的人认为美国做得“太多”,五分之一的人认为“太少”

POLL: Most Americans think both Biden and Trump inappropriately handled classified documents
Strong majorities of Americans believe that both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump acted inappropriately when it came to their handling of classified documents, but in weighing their severity, a plurality of the public believes Trump's actions were more serious, a new ABC News/Ipsos poll finds.
Over three-quarters of the public, 77%, feel that Trump acted inappropriately in the way he handled classified files, while 64%, say the same of Biden. Condemnation expectedly aligns along party lines, with 96% of Democrats saying that Trump's handling of classified documents was not appropriate compared to 47% of Republicans.
More than eight in 10 independents (83%), believe that Trump's behavior was inappropriate, per the ABC News/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos' KnowledgePanel.
Reaction to Biden's actions on this matter similarly varies by party, with 89% of Republicans saying that Biden's handling of classified documents was not appropriate compared to 38% of Democrats and two-thirds of independents (66%).
Both Biden and Trump are under heavy scrutiny due to the discovery of classified files located amid personal items or in unsecured facilities, instead of housed at the National Archives where they belong, though there are key differences in each case.
Earlier this month, reports revealed that a small number of such documents were found in November at an office Biden kept in Washington, D.C. More documents have since been found in his Wilmington, Delaware, home.
The White House maintains that aides immediately contacted the Archives upon learning of the Biden documents and are cooperating fully with the Department of Justice. Trump, on the other hand, faces allegations from the DOJ of obstruction of justice, after his team allegedly left out key details and made multiple unfounded or false claims with investigators during initial efforts to retrieve classified documents stored in his Mar-a-Lago home.
Both now face special counsel investigations appointed by the Justice Department.
The poll was conducted before the Saturday revelation that DOJ investigators found additional classified documents after a consensual FBI search of Biden's Delaware home.
To that end, this poll finds that more than twice as many Americans think that Trump's actions were more severe than Biden's, with 43% saying Trump's behavior was a "more serious concern" and 20% saying Biden's behavior was more serious. Still, nearly a third of the public (30%) finds the actions of both to be equally serious.
Partisan breakdowns once again show a stark contrast, with the overwhelming majority of Democrats, 84%, saying Trump's behavior was more serious, compared to a thin 7% of Republicans who say the same. Although they are likely to give more leeway to the former president, Republicans seem less bullish here, with only a bare majority (53%) of those identifying with the GOP saying Biden's handling of classified documents was more serious.
Independents are much more likely to say Trump's behavior was more serious than Biden's, 43% to 14%.
When it comes to the new Congress and as Republicans gear up to launch several investigations while navigating a looming showdown over the debt ceiling, this ABC News/Ipsos poll finds that the GOP is off to a rocky reputational start with the country, with their disapproval rating high and worse than that of the Democrats.
Nearly three-quarters – 72% – of Americans disapprove of how the congressional Republicans are doing their job. Democratic approval is under water too, with 60% disapproving.
When it comes to assessments of the job Biden is doing as president, his job approval ratings across several key sectors continues to sag. A majority of Americans remain critical of his handling of the economic issues, with 67% disapproving of his dealings with inflation and 60% on both gas prices and the economy overall.
Biden also receives low marks in other areas, with a 67% disapproval rating on immigration and the border, 66% on gun violence and 58% on crime. These figures are largely unchanged from polling before the midterm elections.
The country is more evenly divided on how he has handled Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with a 51-46 disapproval-approval split. On the question of how much support to provide Ukraine, a plurality of Americans, 46%, feel that the United States is doing "about the right amount" to support Ukraine, though a third believe the U.S. is doing "too much" and a fifth say "too little."
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelekskyy has urged increased military aid from allies during a recent speech at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, as NATO's secretary general calls for a ramp up in weapons deliveries as "the way to peace."
