In a sign Americans are growing outraged over an increasingly totalitarian political establishment, a new Rasmussen Reports poll nearly half of Americans believe FBI leaders are “thugs” brutally suppressing criticism of liberal leaders.
The poll found a stunning 46 percent of Americans agreed there is “a group of politicized thugs at the top of the FBI who are using the FBI … as Joe Biden‘s personal Gestapo.”
Only 38 percent of Americans disagreed with the notion FBI leaders were on par with the Nazis’ notorious political police.
The survey, of 1,000 likely voters, found Americans were almost evenly split in their view of the FBI, with 46 percent viewing them favorably and 47 percent unfavorably.
In May 2020 60 percent of Americans had a favorable view of the FBI, a stunning 14-point drop in just seven months.
The finding comes weeks after it was revealed the Justice Department considered parents who criticize liberal education policies as potential “terrorists” – a move the Biden administration defended.
Fifty percent of voters said they believed the FBI director is “influenced by the president in his decision-making,” even though by law he or she is supposed to be a non-political independent.
Only 26 percent of Americans believed the FBI director is not influenced by the president.

It’s up to us to stand together. They are scared shitless of the people
The trouble is that the division in this country has grown so large, and that is what the liberal/socialist democrats want, because it allows them to exercise complete control over the country. Without that second American revolution that has been talked for years now, there really isn’t much we the people can do about it. All this makes me glad that I’m old and hopefully won’t see the complete downfall of the United States of America.
That is because there are more of us than there are of them! Don’t let them scare you and do not submit! Stand up for your rights and your freedom!
The last shred of ‘perceived’ FBI integrity evaporated when the X-FILES series ended.
Have you noticed??
In four years no mass arrests of BLM and ANTIFA members or the Big Tech/DNC/Soros paymasters inciting murders, riots, looting and assaults against Police.
Proof the F#@kin FBI is not “WATCHING” BLM and ANTIFA, the FBI is “MANAGING” BLM and ANTIFA!
I have to agree with you %150 and as long as we have a DICTATOR like this “WACKO who is a plain KOOK” this will happen. Lets all GOOD “AMERICANS” be prepared.
I’m not sure what you mean by be prepared but if not giving up our guns is part of it, I’m on board.
The dictator you speak of is Obama not Biden! He is the one who is controlling the decisions that are made in the government! Joe Biden is to stupid and is just a puppet for Obama!
Yes: Joe Taliban handled Afghanistan so well when He over- rode his General’s advice. .He will take the USA down a path we can never ever recover from and possibly we could be enslaved by both Russia and China. If you think the Chinese Muslims are in dire straits.. Just wait until we have Masters of Chinese and Russian backgrounds.
