Biden CONNECTED with Trump: White House faces even more questions in 2024 as another dire poll leaves Joe deadlocked with Donald

  • Biden and Trump each get 44% in the new Yahoo News/YouGov poll
  • The race is tightening as more Democrats express concerns about Biden’s age
  • Biden has tried to frame his age as experience

A new poll shows Joe Biden and Donald Trump in a dead heat for the 2024 presidential race, as the White House continues to battle concerns about the president’s age and fitness.

Bide and Trump each receive 44% of voter support new Yahoo News/YouGov survey with 7% of Americans saying they are undecided about next year’s presidential election.

Biden had led Trump in head-to-head matchups in previous Yahoo/YouGov polls. The tightening of the race comes as Democrats become more vocal about their concerns about Biden’s age. At 80, he is the oldest president in American history. Biden also faces an impeachment inquiry from Republicans in the House of Representatives.

Trump has not won the Republican nomination, but leads by double digits in all polls covering that contest. And Biden has repeatedly attacked the former president, calling him and his supporters a threat to democracy.

In the poll, Biden’s approval rating remains low: 38%. And only 34% approve of his handling of the economy, which voters say is one of their most important issues.

But the poll found that voters are deeply concerned about Biden’s fitness and mental agility, compared to that of Trump, who at 77 is just three years younger than Biden. If Biden wins a second term in next year’s election, he would be 86 when he leaves office.

When asked about Biden’s age, 52% say it is a major problem, and 77% say it is a minor or major problem.

And 39% say Trump is fit to serve another term as president, while only 27% say that about Biden.

In public, Biden jokes about his age. At a fundraiser in New York on Monday evening, he cited his age as experience.

‘A lot of people seem focused on my age. Believe me, I know better than anyone,” he said. ‘When this country was flat on its back, I knew what I had to do.

“I am more optimistic about the future of this country than I have been in the 800 years I have served,” he added with a laugh.

The president has a clean bill of health from his doctor and the best medical care in the world. Still, he sometimes has trouble walking and has made verbal stumbles.

Both the Trump and Biden families have legal issues in their future, especially for the former president.

Trump is facing two federal cases: on charges related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election and over the classified documents he had in his personal possession. He also faces charges in New York related to a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels and in Georgia related to efforts to overturn that state’s election results.

The poll found that 47% see Trump’s criminal prosecution as a major problem, while 64% see it as a minor or major problem.

Donald Trump leads the polls for the Republican presidential nominee

As for Biden, he faces an impeachment inquiry from Republicans in the House of Representatives, which his allies are calling election year politics.

Republicans in the House of Representatives argue that the Biden family has benefited from Hunter Biden’s business deals, which they say came about because Joe Biden was vice president.

Hunter Biden, the president’s only living son, has been hit with three federal charges related to his 2018 gun purchase and is facing an investigation into his taxes. He has sued the IRS for releasing his tax information, which he claims should have remained confidential.

President Biden has said he has never been involved in his son’s business affairs.

The poll found that more Americans thought the Trumps were corrupt, at 41% compared to 38% for the Bidens.

The survey was conducted by YouGov among 1,636 US adults interviewed online between September 14 and 18 and has a margin of error of 2.7 percent
