According to a poll conducted by the well-known newspaper "Washington Post" and national television "ABC News", if the US presidential elections were held today, Donald Trump would win by 7% more than President Joe Biden, 49%-42%. .

The poll casts doubt on the determination of many Democrats to continue with President Biden for another four years.

One of the main obstacles is precisely his age.

Asked about the mental acuity of the president, who turned 80 last November, 94% of Republicans, 69% of independents, and 21% of Democrats said he no longer has the acuity to continue as president.

Poll: If the election were held today, Donald Trump would win deeply over Joe

Three years ago, 51% of Americans thought Biden had the acumen to be President. Today, that number has dropped to 32%.

On the other hand, 54% of respondents think that former President Trump has the necessary mental acuity to be president. Trump turns 77 in June.

According to the poll, Biden would also lose against Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is thought to challenge former President Trump within the Republican Party. DeSantis would win 48%-41%.

But it's not just age and mental health. President Biden is again going through a period of dissatisfaction with the job he is doing as president. Only 36% approve of the job he is doing, compared to 42% in February.

According to the survey, 44% of voters said they were sure they would vote for Republican Trump, while 36% said they would certainly vote for Democrat Biden. 12% said they are undecided.

Of course, if these 12% had the mind to vote for President Biden, the situation would be reversed. But how much chance does President Biden really have of changing people's minds by November 2024?

Most Democrats doubt whether it is worth waiting for a change in public opinion. Always according to the survey. 58% of voters who tend to vote for Democrats already want another candidate for president from the Democratic Party.
