A new poll from the Wall Street Journal has revealed that the majority of Americans believe President Joe Biden is mentally unfit for his job, and that the 80-year-old incumbent is too old to run for a second term.
Just 36 percent of registered voters said that Biden is "mentally up for the job" of being president, while 46 percent said the same for 2024 GOP frontrunner and former president Donald Trump, who is three years younger.
73 percent of voters said that they felt Biden was too old to seek a second term. If elected, Biden would be 81 years old, and would end his second term at 86 years of age. Biden was already the oldest elected president in 2020, at 77 years old.
In comparison, 47 percent of voters said the same for Trump. Notably, two-thirds of Democrats said Biden was too old to run again.
