As the GOP’s top new presidential candidate is about to enter the race, polls continue to show that President Joe Biden and his reelection pitch are incredibly weak.
In a poll from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, Biden’s handling of the economy sits at just 33% approval. Biden’s handling of guns and immigration is at 31% approval, and only 40% approve of the job he is doing as president. His job approval in the Associated Press-NORC polls has been underwater since October 2021.

Meanwhile, an NPR/PBS/Marist poll highlights Biden’s biggest issue: his age and deteriorating mental faculties. Only 36% of people dismissed this concern as a “campaign strategy used by his opponents,” with 62% seeing it as a legitimate issue. According to NPR, “Several key Democratic and swing groups saw Biden’s mental fitness as a real concern, including those 45 or younger (69%), GenZ/Millennials (67%), men (66%), those without college degrees (66%), non-whites (64%) and those who live in the suburbs (63%).”
Biden is incompetent and old, and it has made him unpopular. That is why he and Democrats are so eager for a matchup with former President Donald Trump, who Biden has already beaten and who also has concerns about age and mental competency (51% of people in the NPR poll are concerned about Trump’s mental fitness).
Biden’s only strategy is to hope for Trump to be his opponent and hope that establishment media can do all the heavy lifting for him. Biden barely ran a campaign in 2020, and now he is even older. He is incapable of doing events in the mornings, evenings, or on weekends. As of August 2022, Biden spent 40% of his days as president on vacation.

Picture the juxtaposition on the debate stage between Biden, who can barely speak in coherent sentences for a minute at a time, and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), or former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC). Scott is the oldest of those three, and he is still 23 years younger than Biden.
Biden is going to be running one of the weakest presidential reelection campaigns, as even Democrats are reluctant to line up behind him again. If Democrats decide to go along with it, they should be sleepwalking toward losing the White House as long as Republicans don’t find a way to screw it up.
