Fifty-nine percent of Americans think Biden and Trump too old for another term

We have a minimum age to become president, 35, so if that doesn't qualify as "age discrimination" then a maximum age limit shouldn't either.
65 should be the max, you get 30 years to try for the presidency then you're forced to retire.
And honestly that should be the maximum age for any elected official, not just the president.

I literally don't care if they Weekend at Bernies Biden, I will vote for him happily if the alternative is Trump.

Anything with eyes would say they are old. Yes, a 2-party system is broken in the modern world. Still Biden/ Harris as president is better then Putin's cuddle buddy.

Well, too bad. Those are the only two viable options, so most likely it's going to be one or the other. The time to do something about it has long passed. All we can do is hope Trump is jailed or either of them die.

73% of Democrats think Biden is too old to serve but only 35% of Republicans think Trump is too old to serve. Ninety-one percent of independents think Biden is too old to serve, and 71% say the same about Trump.

This is one of the really interesting takeaways. People are looking at Biden's gaffes--and he has always made verbals gaffes throughout his career as a politician--and saying that it's a sign that he's too old. Meanwhile, Trump, who trails Biden by a mere four years of age, is viewed as energetic and mentally sharp by Republicans. So essentially, Dems are pretty realistic in their assessment of both candidate's ages, while Republicans are only realistic about Biden.

Also - forcing the Senate to vote against their own compromise bill, a bill they'd worked on for months, was a fantastic bit of hilarity. They know that they're not going to be able to get a better bill under Trump--because the majority in the Senate would still shoot down their worst tendencies--but they couldn't risk bucking Trump. So they undid all their own work. ::chef kiss::

I'll vote for someone other than Biden when there's someone else to vote for.

But he's too old!

But her emails!

COMEON!

Sadly in this cycle even the declared independent and third party candidates are beyond mediocre so far as well. Stupidest election of my lifetime (and I was born when LBJ was Pres).

You're not voting for only Trump or Biden. What you're also voting for is the people they bring in as admin.

But it doesn't matter because those are the choices

Age is more than a number. Some people are very sharp at 80. Some are rapidly deteriorating at 60.

This is the point I wish everyone would remember when they're discussing this issue. It's not the age, but the 'wear and tear' that matters.

Some people age more gracefully than others, and we truly do want to have our elders wisdom, especially during trying times.

Having said all that, my personal opinion on all of this is that Biden seems to have cognitively/physically worn down past the level required for the decision-making/stresses of the office of the Presidency.

If he wants to have a third party doctor give him a cognizant test, and he passes it, and he publicly notifies all of us voters of that, then I would be up for voting for him again.

But judging based on the very little I'm allowed to see, as a voter, based on how few public news conferences that he does, and having seen him faltering in some of those, it truly does seem like it's time for him to move on.

Also IMO, Trump is a semen stain on the soul of America, and he quite literally is a test to see if America is America, or not. If we reaffirm our leader as someone who, as a 'wolf in sheeps clothing', is a very immoral and unethical grifter, then we are lost. All of us.

Not that it's going to happen, but both parties should be putting someone else up as their candidates for the presidency of the United States of America in 2024.

Well, who do y'all think can beat trump, because that's who's running in 4 years regardless of this election's outcome.

The bothsiderist media is happy to let a fascist slide into office all while acting like they just have to harp on Biden's age.

Suppose Biden becomes unable to do the job. So what? There are plenty of capable people are him, and Harris will just assume the office. Big deal; not much changes.

But if tiny d gets into office...he's been promising to be the con movement's "vengeance" and promising to be a dictator (but only for a day, yeah right).

What is the population percentage of boomers, around 40%, per chance?

59% of Americans should have been paying attention a year ago when something could have been done about it. The choice is made now, so accept the reality and choose one (preferably the one who is not a convicted sex offender with 93 felony indictments).

I would vote for VP Kamala Harris to be POTUS before any of them others.

So Biden it is. The "Eisenhower Box" bends to No Hitler.

Isn't this why you have the VP running mates? You vote for them just as much.

You have to convince the RNC/DNC but Boomers' last grasp at controlling the world won't let them give it up.

100% of this Canadian thinks so too

If 59% think that they are both too old and 62% think that Trump is too old (regardless of Biden), does that mean that 3% think that Trump is too old but Biden isn't too old, despite the objective fact that Biden is 4 years older than Trump?

Well too late to do anything about it for this election

assuming an even split between republicans who think they're both too old and democrats who think they're both too old, roughly 30% of the population voting would be enough to sway either party's nomination process should these people decide to.

68% of russians say they do not want to see president older than 70 years old. Putin is 71.

The 41% of Americans who don't think Biden and Trump are too old for this bullshit, are probably beyond elderly themselves.

What does it matter? Since one of them will serve another term unless Republicans decide to vote for Nikki Haley?

Not until it's too late. Just like in Germany.

Wow, was this a joke too?

Blue, no matter who.

And yet nobody is willing to call out the selfish pieces of shit who voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries. They are dragging all of us down with them.

98% of poll takers won’t do a goddamn thing about it. Even though that’s all it takes to get someone else elected.

Politicians are getting older because young people don't vote, while old people tend to be the most active voters. Young people need to be more politically active.

A useless poll. Both are on their tickets and will stay that way. Hey, I'd like to have a pony too ..
