New Poll Suggests Concerns Over Joe Biden's Age and Abilities
According to a recent poll conducted after the release of the special counsel report, 86% of respondents believe that Joe Biden is too old to serve another four years as president. This number has increased by 10 points in just a matter of weeks, highlighting the growing concerns among the American public about Biden's age and capabilities.
Even mainstream media outlets are unable to ignore these concerns, with some describing the current situation as a 'dark moment' for the Biden presidency. The poll results confirmed what many have feared, as they reflect the public's judgment based on Biden's public appearances. Critics argue that if he struggles to perform effectively in these public settings, then what might his behind-the-scenes performance be like?
The special counsel report, comprising five hours of interviews, has further amplified these concerns. Biden was reportedly revealed to have diminished faculties, struggling with memory and recall. In one instance, he was unable to remember the dates of his vice presidency and the passing of his son. These revelations have raised questions about his ability to serve as commander-in-chief.
The report also highlighted Biden's questionable judgment, particularly in relation to his handling of sensitive intelligence. Over the course of 30 years, he was known to rewrite top-secret intelligence in his own notebook and retain it, a practice considered haphazard by many. Such lapses in judgment further exacerbate doubts about his suitability for the highest office.
As debates surrounding the veracity of the report and its alleged partisan nature continue, some are calling for the tapes of the interviews to be released to the public. This, they argue, would allow everyone to see and hear how Biden handles a five-hour interview with the special counsel, providing a transparent glimpse into his abilities and performance behind closed doors.
While Democratic officials and the White House have criticized the report and portrayed it as inaccurate and partisan, releasing the tapes could provide a clearer picture of the president's capabilities. There are suggestions that if the tapes were made public, Biden may face pressure to step down due to the clear evidence of his diminished faculties.
Furthermore, Biden's decision to forego a Super Bowl interview has raised eyebrows. With an audience of around 113 million viewers, the opportunity to present his message to such a large audience was a rare one. However, the decision to decline the interview reflects a fear of potential mishaps or a poor performance in front of such a massive audience.
As the election draws nearer, it remains to be seen whether Biden will continue to hide or opt for increased public appearances. On the other hand, his opponent, Donald Trump, is known for his refusal to hide from public scrutiny, further highlighting the contrasting approaches of the two candidates.
With the poll numbers indicating a significant percentage of Americans believing that Biden is unfit to serve another term, the issue of his age and abilities may play a crucial role in the upcoming election. The public's concerns about his cognitive decline and judgment continue to shape the conversation surrounding his candidacy.
