At this point, it's concerning to see how deteriorated Joe Biden has become.
On Friday, there was this scary moment while he was visiting stores in the area of Allentown, PA.
You can see the frightened, out-of-it look. That's the guy the Democrats claim is going to run again. He's not used to being out in the unprotected arena that they are now trying to push him out into to make him appear younger and more relatable.
But the more people they walk him around to, the more he exposes his issues, and they aren't able to hide things as well. Not exactly a smart strategy. But they are stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea -- they have to try to find some way to pierce the perception of the public that he's not competent. Unfortunately they can only work with what they have -- and they're in real trouble on that.
According to a new ABC poll, just 33 percent approve of Biden generally and the numbers are even lower for the economy at only 31 percent. Jon Karl said that was historically low for Biden and low for an incumbent.
Just 28 percent think that Biden has the "mental sharpness to effectively serve" as president.
Sixty-nine percent thought he didn't have the necessary mental sharpness. That's an incredibly high number, it's hard to get that amount of people to agree on anything in this divided society, so that tells you what trouble he's in. Jon Karl says there's a question of Biden's age not just in their survey but in "poll after poll."
That spells big trouble for Biden if he can't even get a reasonable number to believe he's mentally capable. If they're going into the poll and haven't decided yet, they're not going to be leaning toward the guy they think is incoherent at the last minute.
How bad is it? You even have people thinking that number looks high, given what people have already seen of Biden's issues.
Even his opponent former President Donald Trump posted a video that mocked Biden in a funny video.
When your opponent is able to mock you that openly and it resonates, then you have to know that you're in trouble.
They've been trying to improve Biden's messaging. But the message that seems to be getting through is that he can't handle the job, and his numbers just keep getting worse.
