With the stunning report by the Justice Department suggesting that President Joe Biden is not mentally fit enough to face charges for mishandling state secrets, it's now become an open question: Does that mean Biden isn't mentally fit to be president? Americans are overwhelmingly worried that the answer is no, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
Mere days before the release of a blockbuster government report that indicated Biden's age-related mental decline is real and not just a partisan talking point, the I&I/TIPP Poll asked American voters: "President Biden is seeking a second term. How would you rate his mental acuity?".
Independents, as often is the case, lay somewhere in the middle of the two parties, with 55% of indie voters giving Biden poor or unacceptable scores for his mental sharpness.
Vice President Kamala Harris tops the list with 20% support, followed by former First Lady Michelle Obama, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, and Williamson, at just 2%. "Someone else" gets 4% of Democrats, while "Not sure" stands at 13%. It's important to note that the poll was taken just days before last week's report by leading Special Counsel Robert Hur that Biden "Willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.
Hur went on to call Biden a "Well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory," and suggested his interviews with Biden suggested his "Memory was significantly limited."
In a late Thursday night press conference addressing the report, Biden aggressively defended his mental acuity.
