Most voters, including a majority of Democrats, believe former President Barack Obama is the controlling influence on President Joe Biden as he pushes forward much of his ex-boss’s liberal agenda.

A sky-high 63% believe that Obama is “influencing” the Biden White House, where several former Obama administration staffers work.

And, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shared with Secrets, 53% said Obama is pulling the strings despite only having visited his former office a handful of times since Biden took charge of the Oval Office.

The poll put the focus on claims made since Biden’s inauguration in 2021 that his term was essentially a third Obama one. The former president and his staff have been in the news recently, trashing Biden’s lackluster bid for reelection and urging him to get more active.

When asked, “Do you agree or disagree with this statement: Joe Biden is not ‘running the show’ at the White House. ‘He’s a puppet for a progressive left committee … headed by Obama?’” 37% “strongly” agreed, Rasmussen said, and 16% “somewhat” agreed.

When asked, “How likely is it that former President Obama is influencing the policies of the Biden administration?” 40% said “very likely” and 23% “somewhat likely.” In response to the question, 56% of Democrats agreed, shattering claims that only Republicans believe Biden is an agent for Obama.

Besides portraying Biden as Obama’s puppet, the survey also showed that voters like Obama far more than the current president.
