Republican 2024 prospects boosted by doubts over Biden's age and approval ratings: Polls
A new poll by ABC News/Washington Post shows that 68% of Americans believe President Joe Biden is too old for another term, while 44% believe the same of Donald Trump. Additionally, Trump is seen as having better mental sharpness and physical health than Biden, and is viewed as having done a better job handling the economy. Despite facing criminal charges, Trump leads the Republican field for the 2024 presidential nomination, with Ron DeSantis coming in second. In a hypothetical matchup, both Trump and DeSantis lead Biden, with doubts about Biden's age and acuity being a major factor.
