Most voters in Rasmussen Poll view Biden as ‘Less Mentally Sharp’

According to a recent poll from Rasmussen Reports, a majority of voters believe that President Joe Biden is losing his mental sharpness, with nearly half suspecting that news media outlets are downplaying this evidence.

This poll, conducted at the end of May, follows the release of special counsel Robert Hur’s report that highlighted Biden’s “significant” memory problems.

When asked about Biden’s mental acuity over time:

• 57% agreed that he is declining.
• 34% disagreed with the statement.
• 10% were unsure.

Interestingly, about a third of Democrats supported the idea that Biden is becoming less mentally sharp, aligning closely with Republicans, while the divide within each party reflected varying opinions.

• 33% of Democrats agreed.
• 52% of Democrats disagreed.
• 15% of Democrats were unsure.
• 82% of Republicans agreed.
• 15% of Republicans disagreed.
• 3% of Republicans were unsure.
• 57% of independents agreed.
• 33% of independents disagreed.
• 10% of independents were unsure.

The survey also inquired about the likelihood of media outlets covering up evidence of Biden’s mental decline:

• 46% believed it was very likely.
• 14% thought it was somewhat likely.
• 16% did not find it very likely.
• 19% dismissed the notion entirely.
• 5% were unsure.

Rasmussen polled 1,080 likely voters nationwide from May 28-30, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
