(ReclaimingAmerica.net) – In a bombshell revelation that will make Democrats tremble in fear, a recent poll painted a vivid picture of public sentiment towards Joe Biden’s age as he contemplates another run for office.
Following a special counsel report that characterized him as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” a staggering 86% of Americans are now questioning if he is capable of completing a second term especially with the 2024 elections on the horizon.
Although Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report decided against pressing any criminal charges against Biden for mishandling classified documents, it did raise some eyebrows about Biden’s mental sharpness.
When stacked against former President Donald Trump in the court of public opinion, Biden seemed to be on the losing side with only 62% expressing similar concerns about Trump’s age.
Already holding the title of the oldest president the U.S. has ever seen, Biden would be hitting 86 by the time a second term wraps up. Trump is in a slightly better spot with only a small fraction (3%) of Americans seeing him as “too old” for another term, in stark contrast to the 27% who view Biden through that lens.
The poll also highlighted a general consensus with 59% of Americans deeming both potential candidates as past their prime for the presidential run, while a hopeful 11% believe age is just a number for either contender.
Diving deeper into Hur’s findings, there were instances cited where Biden’s memory failed him on critical personal and professional milestones. The report noted:
“Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt. It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him-by then a former president well into his eighties-of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.”
In an effort to dispel rising doubts about his mental acuity, Biden took to the podium hours after the report went public but the move backfired as he ended up contradicting key points from Hur’s report and confusing the leaders of Mexico and Egypt.
As for the looming electoral showdown current trends show Biden trailing Trump by a slim margin. Additionally, battleground states are proving to be a tough nut to crack for Biden, with Trump gaining an edge in pivotal locations like Arizona, Nevada, Georgia and Michigan.
The figures come from an ABC News/Ipsos survey conducted among 528 adults nationwide, which offers a glimpse into the nation’s pulse with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5%.
