Nearly three quarters of registered voters (and 46% of Democrats) say Biden should not be running for president, according to a CBS News/YouGov poll
conducted following last week’s debate. It also found that 72% do not
believe Biden has the mental and cognitive health to serve as president,
up from 65% less than a month prior (voters are split on whether Trump
clears that bar). The Biden campaign spent the weekend highlighting
post-debate surveys like this one from CNN
that found 81% of debate watchers said it didn’t have an impact on
their choice. But another from Morning Consult found 60% of voters
believe Biden should be replaced as the nominee, while ex-Clinton pollster Stan Greenberg found Democratic leaners less likely to vote for Biden
after his performance. “Biden looked like a deer in headlights,” one
2020 Biden voter in Michigan who is now leaning towards Trump told The Wall Street Journal. |
