Recent news stories have suggested that President Biden is considering a preemptive pardon for Administration officials including Dr. Anthony Fauci. A Napolitan News survey found that just 29% favor pardons for Biden Administration officials in general. That's very close to the 30% who approved of the pardon issued to Hunter Biden.

As for Dr. Fauci, just 32% believe he should be pardoned. Instead, most voters (52%) think his role in the pandemic and lockdowns should be investigated by Congress. Fifty-seven percent (57%) of Democrats believe Fauci should be pardoned. However, only 21% of Independents and 14% of Republicans agree.
