IS PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN TOO OLD TO SERVE A SECOND TERM? THAT’S THE QUESTION POSED IN A NEW ASSOCIATED PRESS POLL
THAT REVEALS MORE THAN THREE QUARTERS OF AMERICANS THINK HE IS.
TAKE A LOOK AT THE RESULTS OF THE POLL. OVERALL, 77 PERCENT OF AMERICANS BELIEVE BIDEN IS TOO OLD TO “EFFECTIVELY SERVE ANOTHER 4 YEAR-TERM AS PRESIDENT.” NOTABLY – MORE THAN TWO THIRDS OF THE PRESIDENT’S OWN PARTY BELIEVE HE’S TOO OLD TO RUN AGAIN. EVEN SO, AN OVERWHELMING 82 PERCENT OF DEMOCRATS SAY BIDEN STILL HAS THEIR SUPPORT IF HE IS THE PARTY’S NOMINEE FOR 2024.
RIGHT BEHIND BIDEN IN YEARS IS REPUBLICAN FRONTRUNNER AND FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AT 77 YEARS OLD.
BIDEN’S AGE WAS A GREATER FACTOR FOR RESPONDENTS BUT MORE THAN HALF BELIEVE **BOTH CANDIDATES ARE TOO OLD TO SERVE AS PRESIDENT IN 2024.
BUT UNLIKE DEMOCRATS – THE MAJORITY OF REPUBLICANS THINK TRUMP IS **NOT TOO OLD TO RUN IN 2024.
NOT ONLY DO A MAJORITY OF AMERICANS THINK THE TWO CANDIDATES RUNNING FOR THE HIGHEST OFFICE IN 2024 ARE TOO **OLD
THEY ALSO BELIEVE AN AGE LIMIT SHOULD BE SET.
TWO-THIRDS OF RESPONDENTS SAY PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES SHOULD BE UNDER A CERTAIN AGE.
AND SAME GOES FOR AGE LIMITS ON SUPREME COURT JUSTICES AND MEMBERS OF THE U.S. HOUSE AND SENATE.
THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF AMERICANS WITH THE GENERAL CONSENSUS –
THAT AGE **IS A FACTOR IN HOW EFFECTIVE A LEADER CAN BE.
