In a recent poll conducted by CBS News/YouGov, a staggering 72% of registered voters expressed doubt about President Joe Biden's mental and physical fitness to serve as president. This poll, conducted shortly after the first presidential debate between Biden and former President Donald Trump, highlights a significant concern among the electorate regarding Biden's capabilities.

The poll results indicate that only 27% of voters believe Biden possesses the necessary mental and cognitive health to lead the nation effectively. This sentiment is shared across party lines, with 59% of Democratic voters expressing confidence in Biden's mental faculties, compared to 41% who do not.

The findings also shed light on the broader political landscape, with 72% of voters stating that Biden should not be running for president. This figure represents a 10-point drop from February, when 64% of Democrats supported Biden's candidacy.

The poll results come at a crucial time, as the 2024 presidential election approaches. Biden, who is 81 years old, is expected to secure the Democratic nomination virtually within the coming weeks, ahead of the Democratic National Convention in August.

The poll also found that 50% of respondents believe former President Trump has the cognitive capacity for the job, while 49% believe he does not. This suggests that voters are split on the mental and cognitive abilities of both candidates.

The findings of this poll underscore the importance of the upcoming election and the need for voters to carefully consider the mental and physical fitness of the candidates. As the race for the presidency heats up, it remains to be seen how these concerns will influence the outcome.
