By 48-46, Voters Say Biden Is Not Mentally Fit

Polls about Donald Trump just generally said he was a jerk, but, that polling outfits are asking the question as to whether Biden is mentally fit is a pretty bad thing for Biden

Poll: Voters split on Biden’s mental fitness as job approval remains low

Voters have increasing doubts about the health and mental fitness of President Joe Biden, the oldest man ever sworn into the White House, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll.

Only 40 percent of voters surveyed agreed with the statement that Biden “is in good health,” while 50 percent disagreed. That 10-percentage-point gap — outside the poll’s margin of error — represents a massive 29-point shift since October 2020, when Morning Consult last surveyed the question and found voters believed Biden was in good health by a 19-point margin.

Asked whether Biden is mentally fit, voters are almost evenly split, with 46 percent saying he is and 48 percent disagreeing. But that negative 2-point margin stands in stark contrast to Biden’s numbers last October, when voters believed he was mentally fit by a 21-point margin.

Consider that 44% approve of the job Let’s Go Brandon is doing, which seems a few percentage points compared to quite a few other polls of late. And the poll on mentally fit shakes down to 27% agree strongly, 19% somewhat agree, 10% somewhat disagree, 30% strongly disagree.

The most intense scrutiny of Biden’s age and his verbal miscues had previously been limited to conservative news outlets and social media, said Celinda Lake, a Democratic pollster who has surveyed for Biden.

“They’re running a very aggressive campaign on this, and it’s bleeding over into the mainstream a little,” Lake said. “By and large, the people who believe this are Trump supporters anyway or they’ve been exposed to the right-wing disinformation machine.”

See, it’s not watching Biden stumble through speeches, refuse to answer questions from the press, make constant mistakes, put his head down on the podium, etc, it’s all this disinformation!

To Lake’s point, the Morning Consult poll generally shows that Trump voters and Republicans generally believe Biden is neither physically nor mentally fit, and Biden voters believe the opposite. However, independents — by a margin of 23 points — don’t agree that Biden is mentally fit now.

All those Independents watching right wing CNN, you know. It is rather patronizing, since people are able to get their information from a lot of different sources across the spectrum.

The new Morning Consult poll shows 44 percent give Biden a positive job approval rating and 53 percent disapprove. Biden’s approval rating is essentially unchanged over the past two weeks — it was 46 percent last week and 45 percent the week prior — since the passage of the infrastructure bill in Congress earlier this month.

So, that big win has turned to a decline in his approval rating. Looking at the toplines for the poll, just 20% approve of Brandon’s performance, while 41% strongly disapprove.

  • 64% say the country is on the wrong track.
  • 41% say that economic issues are their top issue, the very thing Joe and his Comrades are ignoring/doing the exact wrong thing.
  • Only 17% strongly approve of the job Joe is doing on the economy, with 23% saying somewhat approve, 11% somewhat disapprove, 42% strongly disapprove
  • He’s underwater on almost every single issue.
  • Overall, 43% say he’s trustworthy (21% strongly), 51% say no (40% strongly)

And, at the end of the day, this poll is 39% Democrat, 27% Independent, 34% Republican. So, with a 5 point Dem lead, Brandon gets these numbers.

    And yet the national News media continues to cover for him. Not one word about Article 25.
