Under a quarter of adults think Biden is ‘mentally sharp’ after disastrous debate: Poll

Published

A Pew Research Center poll released Thursday shows that only 24% of adults would say that “mentally sharp” describes Biden very or fairly well, compared to 58% who would say it describes former President Donald Trump very or fairly well. The figure for Biden continues a drop from a March 2021 peak of 54% believing “mentally sharp” described the president very or fairly well.
