Meanwhile, in the same poll, \u2064the 55 and older club \u2063is gloating, being almost three times more likely to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/just-18-of-young-adults-say-they-are-extremely-proud-to-be-american\/\" title=\"Only 18% of young adults express 'extreme pride' in being American.\">feel super duper proud<\/a> to be\u2063 American.<\/p>\n<p>OK, let\u2019s do \u2064some time travel to 2013. Back \u200bthen, a whopping 85% of the peeps aged 18-29 were rocking the national\u200c pride. But now? \u2063Nah, that number has gone way down. It\u2019s \u2062like a \u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/consumer-sentiment-falls-on-covid-and-inflation-fears\/\" title=\"Consumer Sentiment Falls on Covid and Inflation Fears\">roller coaster ride<\/a>, but instead of \u200dscreaming with excitement, we\u2019re\u2063 left scratching our heads.<\/p>\n<p>To add another\u200c twist to this \u2063whole \u200dpatriotism tale, political party affiliation \u2062plays a big role. \u200cSurprise, Republicans are leading the pride game, clocking \u200din at \u2063a\u2064 cool 60%. Meanwhile, \u2064the Democrats and independents\u2063 are lagging behind at 29% and 33% respectively. But hey, let\u2019s not forget \u2064that even within \u200cthese political tribes, the\u200b young ones are \u200bstill less\u200b thrilled compared to their seasoned counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>So,\u2063 what\u2019s \u200cthe \u200cdeal? The decline in American \u200bpride has been a long journey, with a\u200b sharp \u2063drop after 9\/11 and a steady \u200ddecline since 2005. Age isn\u2019t the\u2063 only factor here, \u200bfolks; party\u2063 identification also plays a part. Looks like we\u2019ve got\u2064 ourselves a complicated mess \u200cthat needs some serious fixing.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200c Gallup poll follows another\u200b that found two \u200dout of three U.S. voters have declared that President\u2064 Joe \u2064Biden, 80, might be just be too\u200b old to run in 2024. Americans think it\u2019s high time he step aside \u2062and let younger Democrats fight\u200d it out \u200bfor the nomination, \u200daccording to a new poll.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2063DailyMail.com\/Tipp <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12292917\/Two-thirds-voters-say-Biden-make-way-younger-Democratic-candidates.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">poll<\/a> shockingly discovered \u200bthat a whopping \u206367% of registered voters believe Biden \u2014 who\u2019s become quite the maestro of \u2064gaffes and falls \u2014 isn\u2019t up to the \u2063task mentally or physically to serve a second term.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE\u200d DAILY WIRE\u200b APP<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It seems \u200bRepublicans aren\u2019t the only ones shaking their \u200cheads.\u2064 Surprisingly,\u2062 just a third (33%) of\u200d Democrats think Biden should gear up for the 2024 race. \u200dA staggering 56% believe\u200c he should pack his\u200b bags and take a \u2064break, while another 10% just \u2063aren\u2019t\u200c sure about his prospects.<\/p>\n<p>Biden might already have two Democratic rivals jousting\u200c for\u2063 his party\u2019s nomination \u2014 yes, \u200dyou heard that right. \u2062We\u2019re\u2064 talking \u2062about\u2064 the lifestyle guru Marianne Williamson and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Though, let\u2019s\u2063 be honest, they might need a \u200bmiracle to surpass Biden.<\/p>\n<p>But waiting\u200d eagerly in the wings are esteemed\u200d and sprightly younger Democrats\u2063 who just might give Biden a run for his money against former President\u2064 Donald Trump,\u200b Florida Governor Ron \u2064DeSantis, or any\u200d Republican who\u200b manages to snatch\u2062 the nomination.<\/p>\n<p>Names like California Governor Gavin Newsom, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Biden\u2019s Vice President Kamala Harris, and his Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg are already gaining attention as\u2063 the future faces of the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n<p>Now, we must admit that Biden himself has \u2064acknowledged the legitimacy of the age question. However, \u2063he\u2019s been trying his best to brush off concerns about his energy levels and \u2063sharpness for the\u2064 job. \u200bAt 80,\u200d Biden is already the oldest president in the nation\u2019s\u2064 history, and \u2062he\u2019s not backing down from extending that\u200c record with each passing day.<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed\u200d in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered \u2062politics for 35 years, including 12\u2064 years as White House correspondent for a national newspaper.
