More than half of Americans think Trump and Biden are too old to compete for the White House
In a recent ABC News/Ipsos poll, it was found that more than half of Americans feel that both President Joe Biden and his predecessor, Donald Trump, are too old to run for the White House again. The survey revealed that 59% of respondents believe that age disqualifies both Biden and Trump from leading the country. However, the majority opinion is much stronger against Biden, with 86% feeling that he should not become president again, while 62% hold the same view regarding Trump.
The survey, conducted after the release of special prosecutor Robert Hur’s report on Joe Biden, which raised concerns about his memory problems, took place between February 9 and 10.
Interestingly, there was a significant difference in opinions based on party affiliations. Among Democratic voters, 73% believe Biden, who is 81 years old, is too old to hold office. In contrast, only 35% of Republican voters feel that Trump, aged 77, is unfit for the position.
