Biden is headed for defeat in upcoming election — and Dems have ‘no plan to fix the problems’: top pollster
NY Post
Famed pollster Nate Silver said President Biden is headed for defeat this November due to his age and declining job performance — and the Democrats have “no plan to fix the problems.”
Silver, founder and former editor-in-chief of the FiveThirtyEight statistics website, said that, while the incumbent president “can still win,” it will only be the result of polls being wrong or “voters [who] look at the race differently when they have more time to focus on it.”
“Biden is probably a below-replacement-level candidate at this point because Americans have a lot of extremely rational concerns about the prospect of a Commander-in-Chief who would be 86 years old by the end of his second term,” Silver wrote in his “Silver Bulletin” newsletter.
“It is entirely reasonable to see this as disqualifying.”
The Post has sought comment from Biden’s re-election campaign.
Last week, ABC News/Ipsos released the results of a poll showing that a staggering 86% of adults think the 81-year-old Biden is too old to serve another term in office.
