Washington Post-ABC News Poll Shows Republicans With Commanding Lead Over Biden

-

A new Washington Post/ABC News poll shows concerning numbers for President Joe and the Democrats as he prepares for reelection.

The survey shows former President and Florida Gov. leading Biden by 7 percentage points when Democrat and Republican leaners are included.

Respondents expressed concern about Biden's mental acuity and the . Though 56% of people think that Special Counsel Jack Smith should press criminal charges against Trump, the survey also shows that people believe Trump had done a better job than Biden when it came to managing the economy — by 18 points.

ABC News has more on the startling numbers:

Notably, among those who say Trump should face criminal charges in the investigations into whether he illegally tried to overturn the 2020 election results, 18% are inclined to vote for him over Biden anyway. Seventy-one percent in this group take Biden.

At the same time, among people who say Biden is too old for the job, 36% are inclined to support him anyway, while 54% in this group favor Trump. One reason is that among people who say Biden is too old, 62% also say Trump is too old.

Biden already is the nation's oldest president. As mentioned, 68% see him as too old for another term; this includes 43% who see both Biden and Trump as too old and 26% who say so only of Biden. Fewer — 44% — see Trump as too old while, again, 43% say this about Trump and Biden alike and a scant 1% say it about Trump only.

Nearly half of Democrats — 48% — say Biden is too old for another term; about as many say the same about Trump. Many more independents — 75% — say this about Biden, versus 51% for Trump. Among Republicans, 79% see Biden as too old; just 28% say this of Trump.

Langer Research Associates conducted the survey on behalf of The Washington Post/ABC News. Responses came from a random sampling of 1,006 adults across the United States, with a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.

  1. I’m 80 years old and my ability to run a business physically and mentally is just fine because my brain is working. Biden’s brain is not working. So, those who will vote for him anyways are either without brains themselves or voting for him to keep democrats in control so democrats can keep control of the govt, the money for themselves and to do what China is paying the democrats to do, make this country unable to defend itself. As for Trump, his age and his brain gives him the experience to run this country and since he isn’t being paid to tear this country down by the Chinese he is the perfect choice. However, neither Trump nor DeSantis will win in 2024 because the democrats will just keep finding votes and add days to the voting until Biden or any democrat wins.

    Sadly, why would they be concerned when they have been so successful in stealing elections and no one has stopped them?
