A new poll shows that a majority of registered voters believe President Biden is too old for another term in office, with 68% of voters saying that the 80-year-old president is “too old for another term.”
Among Democrats, 48% agreed that Biden’s age is a problem, while 34% disagreed.
The survey of 1,516 US adults was conducted between Feb. 23 and Feb. 27 and shows how concerns about Biden’s age and mental acuity will likely affect his re-election campaign.
Already the oldest president in US history, Biden would be 86 by the end of his second term if he were to win re-election in 2024.
A majority of independents, 71%, also said that age 82 was too old to start a second term as president, which is how old Biden would be on his second Inauguration Day.
The Yahoo News/YouGov poll echoes the sentiments of a majority of voters surveyed earlier this month in a Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll, which found that 67% feel that Biden is showing that he’s too old to be president.
The Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll also found that 57% of registered voters doubt Biden’s mental fitness.
The president’s annual physical, done earlier this month, failed to address mounting questions about his cognitive abilities.
While the president’s doctor gave him a nearly clean bill of health, it is not believed that the exam tested his cognitive health.
His doctor’s report didn’t mention cognition as a concern, despite frequent instances of Biden appearing confused in public or sharing inaccurate memories.
The Yahoo News/YouGov poll found that 77% of voters are at least “slightly concerned” about Biden’s health and mental acuity, with 39% saying they were “very concerned.”
