The overwhelming majority of Americans believe that Joe Biden’s age would hinder his ability to be an effective president in a second term, according to a poll conducted on Monday.
The Associated Press-NORC poll has revealed that 77% of Americans believe that Joe Biden is too old to effectively carry out his duties in 2024.
While an expected 89% of Republicans expressed this sentiment, 69% of Democrats agreed that Biden is no longer capable of fulfilling the responsibilities.

69% of Democrats even agreed with that… Yikes..
From The Hill reported:
More than three-quarters of Americans say in a new poll that President Biden is too old to be effective if reelected to the White House.
The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs survey found that Americans were more likely to say age would be a problem for Biden rather than former President Trump, who is just a few years younger than the president. According to the poll, 77 percent of Americans — including 89 percent of Republicans and 69 percent of Democrats — said that Biden is too old to be effective for four more years.
The AP noted that the negative view of Biden’s age is held across age groups, not just by younger people.
On the other hand, about half of Americans said Trump is too old for the White House. Democrats were more likely than Republicans to say Trump’s age makes him ineffective for office.
