The poll shows that 63% of voters don\u2019t believe the president has the \u201cmental sharpness it takes to serve effectively as president,\u201d while 32% believe he does, and 5% have no opinion. Similarly, 62% of voters don\u2019t believe Biden is in \u201cgood enough physical health to serve effectively as president,\u201d while 33% disagree.<\/p>\n<h3>Age and Reservations<\/h3>\n<p>Biden, 80, is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-founding-fathers-6-prophetic-warnings-that-are-coming-true\/\" title=\"The Founding Fathers: 6 Prophetic Warnings That Are Coming True\">oldest president<\/a> in United States history. If he were to win re-election and serve a full second term, he would be 86 by the time he left office in January 2029. Even some elected Democrats have expressed their reservations about the president\u2019s age. In October, when asked about the prospect of a Biden re-election bid, Michigan Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin called for a \u201cnew generation\u201d of leadership, but added that she would support the president if he decided to run.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been very vocal, including with my own leadership in the House, that we need a new generation and we need new blood, period, across the Democratic Party, in the House, the Senate, and the White House,\u201d Slotkin said. \u201cI think that the country has been saying that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after announcing his bid for a second term, the president defended his age during a press conference with South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith regard to age, I can\u2019t even say I guess how old I am, I can\u2019t even say the number. It doesn\u2019t register with me,\u201d Biden told reporters. \u201cI respect them taking a hard look at it \u2014 I\u2019d take a hard look at it, as well. I took a hard look at it before I decided to run, and I feel good. I feel excited about the prospects,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<h3>Approval Ratings and Hypothetical Matchups<\/h3>\n<p>In the poll, President Biden\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/most-americans-dont-think-biden-is-mentally-or-physically-fit-enough-for-second-term-poll\/\" title=\"Poll: Most Americans doubt Biden's fitness for second term.\">job <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/under-trump-americans-have-seen-their-best-wage-growth-in-40-years\/\" title=\"Under Trump, Americans Have Seen Their Best Wage Growth In 40 Years\">approval rating<\/a> hit<\/a> a low of 36%, with 56% disapproving. In February, that number was 42%. Fifty-eight percent of Democratic-leaning adults believe the party should nominate someone besides the president, while 47% of Democrats want the president nominated again, and an equal number want an alternative. As for independents who lean Democratic, 77% want someone besides Biden.<\/p>\n<p>For Americans under 30 years old, his approval rating is 26%. In the 2020 election, President Biden received roughly 60% of the vote for Americans under 30, according to Pew Research.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans appeared to fare better in the poll, which shows both former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis defeating Biden in a hypothetical matchup. According to the survey, 44% of Americans would \u201cdefinitely\u201d or \u201cprobably\u201d vote for Trump in a Trump versus Biden race, while 38% would vote for Biden, and 18% were undecided or gave a different answer. In a DeSantis versus Biden race, 42% would \u201cdefinitely\u201d or \u201cprobably\u201d vote for DeSantis, 37% for Biden, and 21% were undecided or gave another answer.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>It remains to be seen how these poll numbers will affect Biden&#8217;s re-election campaign, but it is clear that many Americans have doubts about his fitness for a second term. With the 2022 midterms approaching, the Democratic Party will need to carefully consider their options and choose a candidate who can inspire confidence and unite the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Less than two weeks after announcing his re-election bid, a new poll shows the majority of Americans don\u2019t think President Joe Biden is mentally or physically fit to serve a second term.\u00a0 The Washington Post-ABC News poll shows that 63% of voters don\u2019t believe the president has the \u201cmental sharpness it takes to serve effectively<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1530,"featured_media":1926492,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[3884,3706,11246,11168,3921,9095],"class_list":["post-1926491","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire","tag-americans","tag-bidens","tag-doubt","tag-fitness","tag-poll","tag-term"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1926491","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1530"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1926491"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1926491\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1926492"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1926491"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1926491"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1926491"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
