Voters Unimpressed with Biden Post Debate
President Biden’s poor debate performance last week has left voters doubting his cognitive abilities and electability, according to newly released polls.
In a Harvard CAPS-Harris poll released Monday, 66% of respondents, up from 54% in May, said they have doubts about Biden’s fitness. Seventy-four percent surveyed also said Biden showed he was too old to be president.
A Saint Anselm College poll, also released on Monday, found that 44% of New Hampshire voters would back former President Trump if the election was held today, to 42 percent supporting Biden. That’s a 12-point swing from an identical December poll, which found Biden with a 10-point lead in the state.
The same poll showed Trump faring better in the Granite State among moderates (44% to 38%), undeclared voters (40% to 38%), and swing voters (39% to 21%).
