I don’t know why so many people are convinced that polls are meaningful. I don’t know anyone under 40 who has a landline, or who answers cold calls from random numbers, which is how the vast majority of polling in the US is done.
I get polls through the mail
Not sure why they always make it about age. Age doesn’t really matter as long as the cognitive ability is there
Probably because thentisk of cognitive ability decline over a 4 year period increases significantly. Even if either were at their peak now, there is a higher risk of cognitive decline. Biden already shows signs of decline, so will likely worsen significantly. Trump likely has severe mental health issues and was never in peak health since entering politics.
Pressure should be placed in Biden to stand down. Trump too, but he won’t respond to calls to do the right thing. Biden might. Biden whole reason to stand was to not have Trump. Well, he’s causing it to be more likely Trump. He should state that both of them are too old and mental faculties are not there and stand down.
If he does not, everyone we sensible should still vote Biden in. Trump is dangerous and unhinged.
Trump didn’t seem that dangerous or unhinged to me. I also don’t see mental decline in Trump like I do Biden. I don’t see how any sensible person could vote for Biden. The US cannot be run by someone with dementia
Do you see how it could be led by a fascist? Does that seem good to you…? Are you just ok with Americans being murdered by the right? That will happen with Trump, I guarantee it.
Why didn’t it happen when he was in office before? And right now we’re being murdered by illegal aliens, and that’ll continue until Biden is gone
Oh this is who you are, a racist trump supporter
They’re just less likely to have it reported to the fbi statistics. 40% of our major cities aren’t reporting crime statistics to the fbi now. No matter how you try to frame it, there are still illegals in our country murdering, raping, and robbing people, crimes that were completely preventable. And you don’t know me, people like you just call everyone a racist that doesn’t agree with your ideology
Youre talking about that change in reporting requirement from 2021. Good thing this article cites studies and timelines well before then.
Cognitive ability alone is not the whole story, the ability to be persuasive and communicate well is also a key point. I watched the whole debate, and Biden did not communicate well at all. He started out lousy, got a bit better in the middle, but then fell off the wagon again. I think if he had finished strong it would be a lot different.
Age is a key concern because it will affect everyone. Not every 80 year old is diminished, and not everyone has that mental decline before their physical decline accellerates. But we all end up in the same place, in the end. So his age is the one concern that Biden can’t counteract with a policy change or an executive order. All he can do is show us what he has. And he simply didn’t deliver, even after all his debate prep.
I agree 100%
