An alarming 72% of Americans say President Joe Biden is not only mentally and cognitively unfit to be president but he also should not run for reelection, an eye-opening poll result released Sunday found after Thursday night's debate.
Biden does not have the "mental and cognitive health to serve as president," according to 72% of Americans in the CBS News/You Gov poll
While this total is alarming, it only expands on the majority of Americans who already saw it. This 72% is 7 points higher than three weeks ago, when it was still a 65% majority of Americans who see it the way Donald Trump, his campaign, and conservative media have seen it for years.
Thursday's night debate just now brought on 7% more to the American majority.
That move is largely from Democrats abandoning their leading nominee Biden: 46% of Democrats in the poll now say Biden should no longer seek reelection — up 10 points from three weeks ago.
The poll also revealed the top reasons Biden "shouldn't be running for president":
- His age, say 86%, which matches the age Biden will be when he would finish a prospective second term (86).
- 71% say the decisions he might make in office.
- 66% say his record as president.
- 59% say his ability to campaign effectively.
Despite all this, 55% of Democrat registered voters say Biden should continue to press on, compared to 45% who say he should step aside.
The CBS News/YouGov survey sample of 1,130 registered voters nationally June 28-29. The margin of error is plus or minus 4.2 percentage points.
It is definitely time for the 25th amendment to kick in…
