A recent CBS/YouGov poll indicates that a significant portion of registered voters, including 72%, doubt President Joe Biden’s mental and cognitive health to serve a second term after his debate performance.
Concerns about Biden’s age and capability have intensified, with nearly half of his own party sharing these doubts.
While Biden has affirmed his plan to continue in the 2024 race, growing calls for his withdrawal within the Democratic voter base suggest discord with some national Democratic leaders who oppose the idea.
The poll underlines an increasing sentiment among Democratic voters that Biden should not run again, citing factors like age and effectiveness in campaigning as reasons for his potential stepping aside.
