THE AGE-OLD QUESTION: New Poll Shows Voters Seriously Concerned About Old Joe's Age

According to a new poll from Rasmussen Reports, President Joe Biden’s age is a serious concern among 2024 voters —even the majority of Democrats.

Biden would be 82 at the time of his second inauguration and 86 at the end of his term.

From Newsmax:

The survey finds that 72% of likely U.S. voters say Biden’s age is a serious problem in terms of his chances of winning reelection in 2024, including 46% who said it’s a very serious problem. Biden’s age is not considered a serious problem for next year’s election by 25%.

These findings are essentially unchanged since May, Rasmussen notes. However, 57% of voters say it is likely that Biden will be the Democrat presidential candidate in 2024, including 33% who consider it very likely. Biden isn’t likely by the Democrat nominee next year by 37%, including 15% who say it is not at all likely.

Democrat voters (78%) consider it at least somewhat likely Biden will be their party’s 2024 candidate, as do 44% of Republicans, and 47% of unaffiliated voters.

An overwhelming number of Republicans (80%) say age is a serious problem compared with 64% of Democrats, and 73% of unaffiliated voters.

Recent reports indicate that the White House knows Biden has an age problem and has taken steps to lower the chances of him stumbling, tripping up the stairs to Air Force One, and more.
