NYT Poll: 73% of Voters Say Joe Biden ‘Too Old’ to Be Effective President

Seventy-three percent of registered voters believe President Joe Biden, 81, whom the special counsel described as “an elderly man with a poor memory,” is too old to be an effective president, a New York Times/Siena College poll found.

The poll’s crosstabs revealed the breakdown among those who agreed or disagreed that Biden’s age impacts his effectiveness:

• Strongly agree – 47 percent
• Somewhat agree – 26 percent
• Somewhat disagree – 14 percent
• Strongly disagree – 11 percent

Broken down further, the poll found Biden’s age renders him ineffective in the views of various demographics:

• 73 percent of Hispanics
• 65 percent of blacks
• 74 percent of whites

The poll also found every age group believes Biden is ineffective due to age:

• Ages 18-29: 81 percent
• Ages 30-44: 74 percent
• Ages 45-64: 70 percent
• Ages 65+: 73 percent

Among voters who did not vote for Trump or Biden in 2020, a majority found Biden’s age renders him ineffective:

• 73 percent agree
• 7 percent disagree

The poll sampled 980 registered voters from February 25-28 with a 3.5 point margin of error.
