Biden Leads Trump 49% to 45% Amid Fitness Concerns, 67% Say Too Old

Recent polls reveal a complex landscape for the 2024 presidential election, with President Biden holding a slight lead over Donald Trump despite widespread voter skepticism regarding both candidates' mental and physical fitness for office. According to a Quinnipiac poll, Biden leads Trump 49% to 45% in a hypothetical matchup. However, the same and other polls highlight concerns among American voters about the candidates' age and fitness. Nearly 70% of voters, or 67%, believe Biden is too old to run for a second term, with 57% thinking similarly about Trump. Despite these concerns, Biden receives higher marks than Trump on ethics, empathy, and temperament, indicating that voters may prioritize these qualities over physical and mental fitness.
