Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : During his first term, Trump presided over an unprecedented number of federal executions, carried out during the height of the pandemic.
26% : Biden had said on the campaign trail in 2020 that he wanted to end the death penalty but he never did, and now, with Trump coming back into office, it's likely executions will resume.
18% : More pardons are coming before Biden leaves office on Jan. 20, but it's not clear whether he'll take action to guard against possible prosecution by Trump, an untested use of the power.
