Many poll respondents suggest President Joe Biden’s age is a liability, with some focusing on his coughing, gaffes, and the possibility that the world's most stressful job would be better for someone younger.
That's according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research that shows just 37% of Democrats say they want him to seek a second term, down from 52% in the weeks before last year's midterm elections.
When asked if he can handle the office’s responsibilities at his age, the president has often responded as if he’s accepting a dare: "Watch me." Linda Lockwood, a Democrat and retiree from Kansas City, Kansas, said she is not that worried about Biden's age. On CNN on Sunday, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, acknowledged that "generational arguments can be powerful."
Biden has repeatedly emphasized in speeches that it's essential for the public to know the totality of what his administration is doing. It's notched four big legislative victories with coronavirus relief, the bipartisan infrastructure law, the CHIPS and Science Act, and tax and spending measures that help to address climate change and improve the IRS' ability to enforce the tax code and help taxpayers.
On working with congressional Republicans and managing government spending, roughly half of U.S. adults say they have hardly any confidence in the president, and only around 1 in 10 say they have high confidence.John Rodriguez, 76, backed Trump and assumes that Biden is merely doing the bidding of his aides. That creates a challenge for a president who promised to unite the country.
