Only 36 percent said he is fully in charge. About a third of Democrats and more than three quarters of Republicans said others are directing the president&#8217;s policy and agenda. The poll, conducted by the Convention of States Action and the Trafalgar Group, captured more than a thousand voters&#8217; opinions during June primary elections.<\/p>\n<p>Congressional Republicans <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/administration\/540782-gop-says-ron-klain-pulling-biden-strings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">have speculated<\/a>&nbsp;that Biden chief of staff Ron Klain is responsible for much of the leftward shift in the president&#8217;s agenda. Some even took to calling the chief of staff &#8220;Prime Minister Klain&#8221; and &#8220;the guy behind the curtain&#8221; when COVID-19 relief legislation stalled in early March.<\/p>\n<p>Biden&#8217;s apparent cognitive decline was the subject of much reporting during the 2020 election. At campaign events and in speeches, Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/best-of-joe-biden-2020\/\">frequently<\/a> lost his train of thought, misspoke, lashed out suddenly at audience members, and uttered non sequiturs.<\/p>\n<p>A stenographer who worked with Biden from 2011 to 2017&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/elections\/not-the-same-joe-biden-white-house-stenographer-says-former-vps-mental-acuity-has-deteriorated\/\">told<\/a> the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em> in September that the former vice president is &#8220;not the same Joe Biden.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s lost a step and he doesn\u2019t seem to have the same mental acuity as he did four years ago,&#8221; Mike McCormick said. &#8220;He doesn&#8217;t have the energy, he doesn&#8217;t have the pace of his speaking. \u2026 He&#8217;s a different guy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Trafalgar Group, an Atlanta-based polling company, is best known for accurately predicting the 2016 presidential election. The company inaccurately predicted the 2020 election in favor of then-president Donald Trump, however.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The majority of likely voters in the 2022 midterm elections believe President Joe Biden is not directing his administration&#8217;s policy and that others are in charge of the agenda, according &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2314086,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/GettyImages-1233454768_736x514.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Poll: Majority of Likely Midterm Voters Say Biden Not in Charge of Agenda","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-584026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/GettyImages-1233454768_736x514.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Poll: Majority of Likely Midterm Voters Say Biden Not in Charge of Agenda","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584026","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\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=584026"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584026\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2314086"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=584026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=584026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=584026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
