The first major network poll after Thursday night’s debate has been released and contains some devastating data for President Joe Biden.
A whopping 72 percent of Americans believe Biden does not have the “mental and cognitive health to serve as president,” according to a CBS News/You Gov poll on Sunday. That’s up 7 percentage points from just three weeks ago. In comparison, voters are essentially split on whether the former president Donald Trump has the mental and cognitive health necessary for the task – 50 percent of respondents say this is the case and 49 percent say this is not the case.
In addition, the poll found that an overwhelming majority of Americans believe the president should not run for re-election – including nearly half of his own party. Overall, 72 percent of respondents told CBS/You Gov that Biden should not run for re-election – a figure that includes a staggering 46 percent of Democrats.
NBC News reported late Saturday that Biden will meet with his family at Camp David on Sunday to discuss “the future of his re-election campaign.” Although he still has public support from key
Allies like Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) – who spoke up for him on CNN on Sunday morning – several reports suggest that Democrats are secretly increasing pressure on Biden to resign.
