According to a recent CBS/YouGov poll, a growing number of Americans believe President Biden isn’t fit to serve another term. The results come hot on the heels of a disastrous debate performance in which Biden’s cognitive struggles were on full display.
72% of responders say Joe isn’t mentally fit for another trip to the Oval.
From CBS News:
For months before the first debate, the nation’s voters repeatedly expressed doubts over whether President Biden had the cognitive health enough to serve.
Today, those doubts have grown even more: now at nearly three-quarters of the electorate, and now including many within his own party.
And today, after the debate with former President Trump, an increased number of voters, including many Democrats, don’t think Mr. Biden should be running for president at all. Nearly half his party doesn’t think he should now be the nominee.
…
The move came across the partisan board, but it includes a double-digit movement among Democrats, and movement among independents.
Given that, today nearly three in four voters also don’t think Mr. Biden should be running for president in the first place. That’s a higher-percentage sentiment than in February, when almost two-thirds said he should not run.
Following the debate, a long list of newspapers and media organizations have come out with op-eds encouraging Biden sto step aside, including The New York Times, The New York Post, and more.
