The first major network poll following Thursday night’s debate is out, and it contains some devastating data for President Joe Biden.
According to a CBS News/You Gov poll out Sunday — a whopping 72 percent of Americans believe Biden does not have the “mental and cognitive health to serve as president.” That’s a 7 point increase from just three weeks ago. By comparison, voters are essentially split on whether former President Donald Trump has the mental and cognitive health for the job — with 50 percent saying he does, and 49 percent saying he does not.
...the survey found an overwhelming number of Americans believe the president should not run for reelection — including nearly half of his own party. Overall, 72 percent of respondents told CBS/You Gov that Biden should not seek reelection — a number which includes a stunning 46 percent of Democrats.
...multiple reports indicate Democrats are privately turning up the heat on Biden to step aside.
Except for po, I don't think that this surprises anyone.
Maureen Dowd wrote in the NYT that Joe is too selfish to actually care about the Dem Party, let alone the nation. She may be right.
I'll tell you what I know about many people with dementia: They can be irrationally stubborn.
The summary of the poll results show that only 46% of Dems think Joe shouldn't seek reelection. That's less than half.
