Poll: Nearly 70 percent of voters say Biden is too old to serve again
Poll: Nearly 70 percent of voters say Biden is too old to serve again
The Quinnipiac University poll showed that 49 percent of registered voters support Biden and 45 percent support Trump, but 67 percent said the 81-year-old president is too old to serve another term.
It's definitely an issue that's not going away. The DNC really needs to figure it out and stop pretending that it doesn't matter to voters.
You're viewing a single thread.
If this was the most important election of our lifetimes, like they claim, they would have spent the money and resources to primary Biden with someone worthy of winning.
Running a primary against a sitting president is a fast road to losing the election.
They need to reearn their position with every election, that's why it's a separate term. Refusing to primary is undemocratic and prevents accountability. They are not entitled to 2 full terms unless they've earned them
That's never been the way it has worked. The sitting president for either party is the candidate unless they choose otherwise. See Johnson in '68.
The last time a sitting President had a serious primary challenger, Carter in 1980, they lost in a landslide.
The reasoning is simple:
If a sitting President doesn't have the confidence of the party, they don't have the confidence of the voters either.
All the polling shows voters dont have confidence in him, the DNC in their arrogant hubris does have confidence because they believe they are entitled to every vote not Republican. And the disenfranchised will vote for Biden regardless of what he's done. Liberals claimed they could hold him accountable after the election in 2020, and making him earn votes is one way of doing it
No, the polling is only asking and reporting half the question:
"Do you think Biden is too old to be President?"
Yes, anyone with half a brain should think that.
"Will you vote for him anyway?"
If the alternative is Trump? Yes.
That is a completely disingenuous reply. All of the polling lists every single question that was asked, what demographic it was asked of, and the results of those questions in the methodology used.
It largely depends on the poll, but the reporting is often faulty as well.
The perceived reliability of a poll is only based on who it shows winning. I've seen several posts on here and reddit claiming that polls were unreliable when they were showing Trump still beating Biden. On the occasional poll that gets posted showing Biden now beating Trump, all of a sudden polling is reliable and trustworthy
