Poll: most Americans doubt mental capabilities of Biden, Trump
A large share of U-S adults doubt the mental capabilities of both President Biden and former President Trump. A new AP-NORC poll finds that more than 6 in 10 Americans are not very or not at all confident in Mr. Biden’s mental capability to serve effectively as president. A slightly smaller share — 57 percent– says that Trump lacks the mental fitness for the job. Many respondents to the survey were deeply pessimistic about their likely choices in November because of age and the risk of cognitive decline. Biden is 81 years old and Trump is 77.
