Forbes: “The first polls released after Thursday’s presidential debate—characterized by a rocky performance by President Joe Biden—show an increasing number of Americans believe the 81-year-old president is too old and should drop out of the race, though at least two polls found Biden still maintains a narrow edge over former President Donald Trump.”
“Only one in five respondents in an Ipsos poll of over 2,500 likely voters taken after the debate called Biden’s mental fitness “good” or “excellent,” a seven-point drop from another Ipsos poll conducted just days before the debate.”
“Among likely Democratic voters, the drop was even more severe, with 42% saying after the debate they believe Biden is mentally fit, compared to 56% beforehand.”
“Meanwhile, 15% of respondents in that poll (conducted June 27-28) said Biden is physically fit to be president, compared to 21% who said the same before the debate (conducted June 20-25).”
