United States: More than half of voters think Joe Biden is “gaga” | the Chronicle

While the polls were once very favorable to Joe Biden, his image has deteriorated in recent months. among North American voters. This is due to rising prices, threats of increased taxes and public spending, and now the controversial withdrawal from Afghanistan, a country entirely controlled by the Taliban.

However, citizens have also started to listen to Republicans on another topic that worries more than one: the president’s sanity. According to a survey by pollster Rasmussen Reports of 1,000 likely voters between Aug. 18-19, 52% of them “He doesn’t believe President Joe Biden is mentally and physically capable of doing his job and suspects the White House is run by others.” This is worrying for the former senator since in March, the same poll only reported 47%.

Of the aforementioned sample, 41% have no doubts that this is the case and 46% are sure their health is good and trust them. In addition, 39% do not doubt that the “Jill’s husband”, as it describes itself, performs its functions.

Doubts about the president’s cognitive health began with the launch of the 2020 campaign, since little by little videos were leaking where Biden forgot things or said inconsistencies. Once elected, these doubts did not cease in the opposition, to which former White House doctor Ronny Jackson has joined us.

The current state deputy of Texas He was the President’s personal physician during the administrations of Donald Trump and Barack Obama.

“I’ve been talking about it for about a year and a half. I said, even when I was candidate Biden, that he was cognitively unfit to be our president. I tell you, over the days, it will not be Ronny Jackson who will talk about it, it will be the Democrats who will talk about it, because it fails on all fronts. And when he arrives in front of the camera, it’s a shame. He is, he is not prepared for what is going on in this country. And whenever we’re faced with something like that, it becomes more and more obvious that he can’t do this job. And I think at some point they’re going to have to sort that out. And they will have to take care of it ”, he said recently after the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

For its part, the CNN channel spoke out in defense of “number 46”. The chronicler Chris Cillizza, indicated in this regard that it was a criminal act on the part of the opposition and noted that “If Republicans have some kind of proof that Biden is in mental decline, they should bring it up. If they don’t, they should stop what they’re doing. Immediately.”
