The majority of Americans, including Democrats, say they are concerned about President Biden‘s mental health amid recent gaffes and swirling questions about whether the 79-year-old should pursue a second term.
An Issues & Insights/TIPP poll released Monday found that 59% of respondents expressed concern about Mr. Biden‘s mental health, with 36% saying they were “very concerned.” The poll showed that 21% had no concerns at all, while 18% said they “were not very concerned.”
Among Democrats, 39% said they were worried about the president’s mental condition, compared to 82% of Republicans and 56% of independents.
“While not a majority, it’s still significantly high,” Issues & Insights wrote in reporting the survey’s results.
However, 58% of Democrats said they’re not concerned about the president’s mental health. Just 17% of Republicans and 39% of independents agreed.
Factors like gender and race did not show a statistical difference in how Mr. Biden‘s mental health is viewed. Men and women polled the same — 59% — when asked the question. The poll found 39% of men said they were not concerned, while 38% of women said they were not concerned.
Meanwhile, 63% of White people and 61% of Hispanic people said they were concerned. Black people expressed the most confidence in Mr. Biden, with 53% saying they were not concerned about the president’s mental state, compared to 44% who said they were.
“The fact is, based on these polling data, there is genuine concern among virtually all groups over Biden‘s cognitive health,” Issues & Insights wrote in its summary of the poll results.
