A new Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey found Republicans and Democrats are in agreement over one belief about President Biden: He’s far too old to be an effective leader in a second term.
That’s what 77 percent of respondents said regarding the 80-year-old commander-in-chief—a belief 89 percent of Republicans and 69 percent of Democrats shared. And while former President Trump is only a few years younger, voters were less concerned about his age. Fifty-one percent of U.S. adults said the GOP presidential candidate is too old to effectively serve a four-year term, with Democrats unsurprisingly outweighing Republicans in that belief, 71 percent to 28 percent, respectively.
But it’s not just the presidency that Americans of all stripes have concerns about regarding age. The survey also found that voters want age limits imposed on Supreme Court justices and members of Congress.
Sixty-seven percent support mandating justices retire by a certain age, 68 percent said they are in favor of age limits for House and Senate candidates, and 66 percent support an age ceiling for presidential candidates, the survey found.

Doesn’t matter. He’ll get 100,000,000 votes...
Age has nothing to do with it. They’re using that as a way to develop an issue with Pres Trumps age
Biden’s problem are his: nastiness, incompetence, stupidity, greed, pedophilia, and senility.
The left know Bydone is done for. Now for Kamel.
Maybe they think Trans/Hispanic/Gay/Illegals, blah, blah...what ever the letters are
would be more acceptable and winnable from drop boxes, fraud....you name it.
Mortician starts stop watch.
It’s not the age, it’s the corruption.
That’s a good synopsis.
Trump would be almost done with his 8 years had the Swamp not stolen an election.
Stolen elections have consequences..
Nonsense.
FR was squawking in 2020 that Biden was just plain too old, never mind other things, most of which Dems would not agree with so we are not talking about those issues.
Trump will be the same age Biden was at that point.
Let’s stop the hypocrisy.
Yup, and white men too.
Funny how it almost always boils down to what Dems say they abhor.
No hypocrisy. Biden was a senile old bird in 2020, Trump still has his mind and his energy. There’s a big difference.
No, there is not. “Old” is old. Period. Dementia is another issue.
At this age everything is touch and go. I don’t care how great his mind is (questionable), he could drop dead tomorrow. Things happen. Turn on a dime.
People ragged on Reagan for being old practically his whole term - but he was 77 (almost 78) when he LEFT after 8 years.
This whole thing is ridiculous.
Age is just one factor. Some elderly are very alert with much stamina. I’ve known people in politics and out of politics in their 90s who were as healthy as Trump. There are many alert seniors in their 70s, 80s, and 90s.
Also I have known youth in their 20s who did not have the stamina for an 8 hour work day. And at every age from 20 to 100 who did not have what it takes to work a high pressure job.
Health, mental alertness is the issue.
(I’m a couple months younger than Biden. I work just as long and hard and just as mentally alert as co-workers much younger.)
I am sorry, but he is not too old, he is too SENILE!
Well, he was way too old to begin with!
It’s not that he’s too old, it’s that he is too rotten.
