Poll: Hunter Laptop a Big Deal

Rasmussen Reports polling has looked at likely voters' attitudes toward the Hunter Biden laptop story. That story got new "legs" recently when The New York Times admitted it was the real McCoy, not Russian disinformation as had long been claimed. Key poll findings:

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 66% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the story about Hunter Biden’s laptop containing emails about his business dealings is important, including 48% who think the story is Very Important.

Sixty-five percent (65%) of voters believe it’s likely – including 48% who think it’s Very Likely – that Joe Biden was consulted about and perhaps profited from his son Hunter's overseas business deals including at least one involving a company in mainland China.

More than half of the 93% with an opinion believe:

If the media had fully reported the story about Hunter Biden’s laptop before the 2020 election, it’s unlikely Joe Biden would have been elected president.

Given all of that, you can understand former President Trump's frustration with the "vast leftwing conspiracy" reflected in his 2020 loss. Most of the media colluded to suppress information deleterious to his opponent while tech billionaires spent tens or hundreds of millions funding lefty vote harvesters to maximize the Biden turnout. 

Describing the 2020 election as "stolen" may or may not be a bridge too far. Calling it "rigged" certainly fits.
