Does all really mean all, you ask?
Well, if all means a strong majority of voters in the United States regardless of party, then all means all.
According to new numbers from the Associated Press, a vast majority of Americans have decided to agree on something.
Given all they’ve seen about Sleepy Joe Biden over the past few years, there is no way the man is fit to serve a second term let alone able to discharge his present duties, or so the consensus seems to be forming:
Americans actually agree on something in this time of raw discord: Joe Biden is too old to be an effective president in a second term.
A new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds much of the public oddly united in sizing up the one trait Biden cannot change.
The president has taken to raising the age issue himself, with wisecracks, as if trying to relax his audiences about his 80 trips around the sun.
In the poll, fully 77% said Biden is too old to be effective for four more years. Not only do 89% of Republicans say that, so do 69% of Democrats. That view is held across age groups, not just by young people, though older Democrats specifically are more supportive of his 2024 bid.
That’s a full three-quarters of voters, including more than two-thirds of Democrats that say Biden is simply too old to be effective at another term in the White House. Does anyone still believe this man is running a serious presidential campaign and intends to be standing, a year from now, accepting his party’s nomination in 2024?
Fewer and fewer actual voters believe that and it’s starting to show up in public opinion polls.
While some voters believe similar about Trump, it’s not the same universal recognition it is for Biden. Independents lean heavier toward the belief that Biden is too old for a second term compared to the same belief about Trump.
If the 2024 election came down to a binary Trump-Biden choice, would this issue alone swing the vote in Trump’s favor? Would voters feel that Biden was simply unable to represent the country and meet the demands of the job? Some voters greatly dislike Trump, would they stay home or simply not vote rather than pull the lever for an aging Biden?
The theme of politics, in many parts of our culture today, is that Washington has been run by a lot of the same people for decades. They were elected sometime in the 70s or 80s and they’re still sitting in various positions today.
Biden is a prime example of this generational ruling class having been inside, outside, and everywhere else in Washington between the House, Senate, and White House. He’s not a swamp creature, more like a well-known inhabitant of the swamp with a smile on his face while he greatly enriches himself and his family at the expense of national security.
