A recent ABC News/Washington Post poll has revealed that US President Joe Biden is facing a challenging re-election campaign, as the majority of American adults do not believe he has the mental or physical capacity to serve another term. The poll found that 63% of respondents believe Biden, who is 80 years old, lacks the “mental sharpness” required to serve as president, compared to only 32% who believe he does have the necessary capacity, while the remaining 5% had no opinion.
The same poll conducted a year ago found that 54% of respondents shared the same opinion. Similarly, 62% of respondents do not believe Biden is in good enough physical health to serve, while 33% believe he is, and the remaining 5% had no opinion.
In comparison, 54% of respondents believe former President Donald Trump, who is 76 years old, has the mental sharpness required to serve as president, while 64% believe he has the physical health to serve.
According to the poll, 26% of Americans believe only Biden is too old to serve as president, while only 1% said the same for only Trump. However, 43% believe that both men are too old for the office.
Biden’s job approval rating has also hit a new low at 36%, down six points since the same poll was conducted in February, while 56% of respondents disapprove of Biden’s performance so far. Moreover, the poll found that a majority of Americans think Trump did a better job of handling the economy than Biden, with 54% supporting Trump’s performance compared to only 36% who think Biden is doing a better job.
The poll results come nearly two weeks after Biden announced in a video that he and Vice President Kamala Harris would seek re-election. The video, titled “Freedom,” echoed his 2020 campaign message of fighting for the “soul of our nation,” uniting the country, and supporting the middle class. The video opens with footage of the January 6 U.S. Capitol protest.
As Biden’s re-election campaign begins, the poll results indicate that the president faces significant challenges in winning the support of the American electorate. However, the Biden campaign has yet to comment on the poll results.

Biden is only fit to fool around, drink to his head rolls on the floor, this man is not only the most evil of all ….. he isn’t even a president….keep him out of Israel and his hands off our world
There has got to be more than 32% of morons in this country !!!
There’s a reason the DNC and courts had to rig the elections
Here is the Rest of the Poll which was conveniently left off.
Congress typically passes legislation on a regular basis to allow the government to pay its debts. Without this step, the government could default on its debts. Do you think Congress should allow the federal government to pay its debts ONLY if the Biden administration also agrees to cut federal spending, or should the issues of debt payment and federal spending be handled separately?
Only if Biden agrees to cut spending 26%
Should be handled separately 58?
If the debt limit is not raised and the government goes into default, who would you mainly blame for that – (Biden) or (the Republicans in Congress )
Biden 36%
Republicans in Congress 39%
Donald Trump has been charged in New York with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Do you think this case was brought (appropriately to hold Trump accountable under the law like anyone else), or (inappropriately to try to hurt Trump politically)?
49% Appropriate
44% Inappropriate
Do you think Trump should or should not face criminal charges in each of these other cases?
a. Investigations into whether he tried to illegally overturn the 2020 presidential election results
56% Should.
38% Should Not
b. A federal investigation into his handling of classified documents after he left office
54% Should
38% Should Not
c. A federal investigation into his role in the events leading to the storming of the U.S. Capitol in January 2021
54% Should
41% Should Not
And that suggests that out of the gate, Biden can count on a third of the electorate, to which he’ll also get those who think that Biden is still better than Trump. Bluntly, Trump needs to get 75% of the voters that question Biden fitness, but many of those also question Trump’s fitness based on his age and actions.
The most likely Republican path to victory is to convince Trump to become the respected senior statesman (and kingmaker), and nominate a ticket that is likely to actually win the election.
He’s not going to run. Period.
This only proved that 32 percent of democrats are insane or suffer brain tremor
