A new poll for DailyMail.com lays bare the challenge facing President Joe Biden as he runs for reelection: Almost half of Democrats believe he is too old for the job, and 52 of all voters believe they are worse off since he became president.
Republicans have used both as attack lines in their campaigns to unseat Biden.
The president has always been gaffe-prone, but now any botched comment is seized on as evidence that the 80-year-old is no longer fit for office.
And after presiding over gas prices spikes and a year of rampant inflation, Republicans believe they can beat him on pocket book issues.
A new DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners poll shows how Biden is vulnerable on both issues
It found that 71 percent of likely general election voters believe he is too old to be president — let alone at the end of a second term, when he would be 86.
The numbers are skewed by political preference, but even 49 percent of Democrats agree.
Only 28 percent of them believe he is ‘about the right age.’
Biden has tried to laugh off concerns that he no longer has the energy or sharpness for the job, but those efforts have sometimes backfired.
On Friday he tried it in front of a friendly crowd at a gun control rally in Connecticut.
‘A lot of you are tired. You’re tired. No, I get it. Try being 110 and doing it again,’ he said to laughs.
But he left everyone confused at the end of the speech when his final words were: ‘God save the Queen.’
At 80, Biden is already the nation’s oldest president. Every day he extends the record.
