Most people think Biden’s mind is not good, and they don’t believe Kamala Harris is the solution
A Majority of Voters Concerned About President Biden’s Mental Fitness
In a recent I&I/TIPP poll, the mental fitness of President Joe Biden was a major concern for a majority of voters. When asked to grade his “mental acuity,” 33% rated it as a “fail,” and an additional 18% rated it as “poor.”
Only 29% of voters gave the president a positive rating of “good” to “excellent.”
This survey, conducted before the release of a special counsel’s report criticizing Biden’s mental state, adds to the growing evidence of voter worry about his mental health.
Will Biden Step Aside for Reelection?
Despite the majority of voters wanting Biden to not run for reelection, 61% do not believe he will drop out of the race, according to the survey.
Comparing the situation to past presidents Truman and Johnson, who both withdrew from their reelection campaigns in March, the survey asked voters about the likelihood of Biden dropping out in March 2024. Only 28% believed it was “very likely” or “somewhat likely,” while 62% thought it was “not very likely” or “not at all likely.”
No Clear Alternative to Biden
One reason for Biden’s potential continuation in the race may be the lack of a clear alternative. While some Democrats see Vice President Kamala Harris as the obvious choice, only 20% named her as the top contender. Another 18% either chose “someone else,” were “not sure,” or preferred not to answer.
How do the recent poll results reflect the concerns of the majority of voters in the United States about President Joe Biden’s mental fitness?
A majority of voters in the United States have expressed their concern about President Joe Biden’s mental fitness, according to a recent I&I/TIPP poll. The survey asked voters to rate Biden’s “mental acuity,” and the results were concerning. A total of 33% of voters rated his mental fitness as a “fail,” while an additional 18% rated it as ”poor.” Only 29% of voters gave Biden a positive rating of “good” to “excellent.”
These findings are significant, especially considering the recent release of a special counsel’s report criticizing Biden’s mental state. They add to the growing evidence of voter worry about the president’s mental health. It is becoming increasingly clear that a significant portion of the electorate is questioning Biden’s ability to effectively govern the country.
Another interesting finding from the poll is that despite the majority of voters wanting Biden to not run for reelection, a significant number of them do not believe he will drop out of the race. According to the survey, 61% of voters do not think Biden will step aside for reelection. This sentiment is somewhat surprising, as historical examples like Presidents Truman and Johnson, who both withdrew from their reelection campaigns in March, suggest that it is not uncommon for presidents to consider their mental fitness when deciding on reelection.
When specifically asked about the likelihood of Biden dropping out in March 2024, only 28% of respondents believed it was “very likely” or “somewhat likely.” The majority, 62%, thought it was “not very likely” or “not at all likely.” This disparity between voters’ desire for Biden to step aside and their doubts about him actually doing so raises questions about the potential reasons behind this discrepancy.
One possible explanation for Biden’s potential continuation in the race is the absence of a clear alternative. While some Democrats may see Vice President Kamala Harris as the obvious choice, the survey results suggest otherwise. Only 20% of respondents named Harris as the top contender for the presidency. Another 18% either selected “someone else,” were “not sure,” or preferred not to answer.
These poll results shed light on a concerning issue in American politics. A majority of voters expressing concern about the mental fitness of the sitting president raises questions about his ability to effectively lead the country. It will be interesting to see how these concerns play out in the upcoming years, especially as the 2024 presidential election draws near.
