Democrats are increasingly agreeing that the president is showing he may be too old to run for a second term, polls show.
This month's Harvard CPAS/Harris Poll found that 43 percent of Democrats think Biden is showing he's too old to be president, an 8 percent increase from June and 10 percent increase from May.
Biden, who took office at age 78 and will turn 81 in October, is the oldest president in U.S. history. If he is reelected in 2024, he will be 86 at the end of his second term. The president's political rivals have attacked him over his age, pointing to a number of verbal and physical missteps he has made in public. Biden drew particular scrutiny last month after he tripped over a sandbag at the Air Force Academy's graduation ceremony.President Joe Biden meets with Israeli President Isaac Herzog in the Oval Office at the White House on July 18, 2023, in Washington, D.C.
However, other Americans aren't as confident. The survey conducted from July 18 to 20 shows that 85 percent ofand 71 percent of independents have doubts about Biden's mental fitness, up from May's 83 percent and 65 percent, respectively. NBC News reported on Monday that Biden's 2024 campaign is strategizing to minimize the physical toll of the job for the president while highlighting his decades-long experience as an electoral strength. The outlet said his team has been increasingly providing Biden with a shorter set of stairs for boarding and disembarking from Air Force One and offering shorter note cards for the president to read.
