WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Voters in the United States are expressing growing doubt about President Joe Biden's physical and mental competence to perform his duties. A new Politico/Morning Consult poll revealed on Wednesday that less than half those questioned actually have faith in his capabilities.
Only 40 percent of respondents say they believe Biden - the oldest president in US history - is in good health, 46 percent think that he is mentally fit and 44 percent that he is stable, the poll results show.
The poll also revealed that only 41 percent of voters believe Biden is capable overall to lead the United States.
This represents a 29-point shift in public opinion about the status of Biden's mental and physical health since the last Morning Consult survey in October of 2020.
