POLL: Most Americans have doubts about Biden’s mental fitness, think he might be ‘too old’ for the job
A majority of Americans said they have “doubts” about President Joe Biden’s mental fitness, while nearly two-thirds said he might be “too old” to be president, according to a recently published Harvard-Harris poll.
The results are not exactly surprising, given the alarming rate at which Biden, 79, has been committing gaffes on the international stage amid the lingering threat of nuclear war. Nevertheless, they might come as a surprise to consumers of mainstream media, where the coverage of the Biden administration tends to portray the president as a sharp and steadfast leader in these trying times.
The poll found that 55 percent of Americans had doubts as to whether Biden was “mentally fit to serve” as president, compared with 45 percent who expressed confidence in his mental fitness. By an identical margin, Americans also expressed doubts about Biden’s ability to “handle difficult international issues.” Asked whether Biden was “showing he is too old to be president,” 62 percent of Americans said yes, while 38 percent said otherwise, including one in three Democrats. Two-thirds of Hispanic voters said Biden might be too old to be president, along with 43 percent of black voters.
