Harvard Poll Shows Trump Leading by 5 Points, 63% Believe Biden is Too Old
Presidential concerns are mounting as a majority believe that President Joe Biden is too old (63%) and mentally unfit (57%) to hold office. Despite this, presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump maintains a five-point lead in the latest poll released by the Harvard Center for American Political Studies (CAPS).
In a head-to-head matchup, Trump leads Biden by three points (47%-44%), but his lead widens when third-party candidates are included. The full field results from the Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll for March 20-21 are as follows:
- Trump 41%
- Biden 36%
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 14%
- Jill Stein 1%
- Cornel West 1%
- Unsure 6%
When Trump, Biden, and RFK Jr. are the only candidates, Trump’s lead narrows to 4 points:
- Trump 41%
- Biden 37%
- RFK Jr. 15%
The poll also reveals doubts about Biden’s age and mental fitness, with a majority expressing concerns about electing a mentally unfit president. Additionally, many respondents believe Biden lied about his involvement in his son’s business dealings and may have committed impeachable offenses.
The Harvard CAPS poll surveyed 2,111 registered voters and was conducted by The Harris Poll and HarrisX on March 20-21. No margin of error was provided.
