e; I wrote a better headline than the ABC editors decided to and excerpted a bit more
According to the poll, conducted using Ipsos’ Knowledge Panel, 86% of Americans think Biden, 81, is too old to serve another term as president. That figure includes 59% of Americans who think both he and former President Donald Trump, the Republican front-runner, are too old and 27% who think only Biden is too old.
Sixty-two percent of Americans think Trump, who is 77, is too old to serve as president. There is a large difference in how partisans view their respective nominees – 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.
Concerns about both candidates’ ages have increased since September when an ABC News/Washington Post poll found that 74% of Americans thought Biden – the oldest commander in chief in U.S. history – was too old to serve another term as president, and 49% said the same about Trump.
Part that drew my eye,
The poll also comes days after the Senate failed to advance a bipartisan foreign aid bill with major new border provisions.
Americans find there is blame to go around on Congress’ failure to pass legislation intended to decrease the number of illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border – with about the same number blaming the Republicans in Congress (53%), the Democrats (51%) and Biden (49%). Fewer, 39%, blame Trump.
More Americans trust that Trump would do a better job of handling immigration and the situation at the border than Biden – 44%-26% – according to the poll.
So that bipartisan border bill stunt was terrible policy, and it doesn’t seem to have done anything for the Democratic party politically
Can we please stop trying to compromise with fascists now?
It really does matter. The implication is that the system is obviously broken because no one likes either choice.
It doesn’t matter until it’s fixed.
It doesn’t matter that something is broken until it’s fixed?
If you vote for an independent and that leads to someone like Trump winning, you are an idiot.
Settle down mate. I’m not suggesting anyone vote for an independent. Merely to acknowledge that this system is broken.
Everyone has.
And it can’t be fixed unless we discuss how it happened. So when do we discuss all those people who voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries? What are we going to do about them?
Here? In super liberal Reddit?
It’s bizarre I agree. On the one hand people scream about how dangerous Trump is and the importance of voting blue no matter who. But they generally will not entertain any conversation about how to fix the situation.
I will say I get less down votes here than on Reddit but overall people just don’t want to talk about it.
