Most voters believe Joe Biden's disastrous debate performance on Thursday was not caused by a cold or too much preparation, but by dementia.
That is one of the most damning findings in an exclusive national poll for DailyMail.com.
Only 10 percent of respondents accepted the White House's excuse that a cold was to blame for the President struggling to answer questions or hold his train of thought during a 90-minute showdown with Donald Trump.
At the same time, it reveals that Trump, 78, has extended his lead over 81-year-old Biden to six points, deepening the crisis facing the president's reelection campaign.
The White House has already had to fend off questions about whether the president is 'disabled' in a sign of how Biden's health moved to the center of the contest this week.
Now with Biden under intense pressure to step aside, our poll reveals how far those health fears have spread.
Some 52 percent of respondents said dementia was the cause, including 17 percent of Democrats and more than half of independents.
'The debate confirmed what voters already feared about Biden—and then some,' said James Johnson, co-founder of J.L. Partners who conducted the poll.
'The finding that 52% of voters think his poor performance was down to dementia is hugely significant: No one is buying Biden's personal excuses or that of his staff. This is something they think is structural and a problem that is not going to go away.
'Majority views involving political figures are not normal in American politics due to high levels of polarization. Biden's health has bucked that: it is now a majority and uniting view that Biden is mentally unwell.'

Hunter Biden needs his pardon.
“Brutal headline though.”
And The Daily Mail hates Trump.
The Daily Mail goes for sensationalism every time. Whatever gets the eyeballs as far as the Daily Mail is concerned. I see more stateside stories that the US Media will not cover, and that covers up some of the regular silliness.
Some of the liberals want Biden to “get out there” and do something to change the narrative.
The term “glutton(s) for punishment” came to mind, immediately.
Last night I was visiting a college friend of mine who has had early onset Parkinson’s Disease for over 30 years. Over the past month or so I’ve been thinking how Biden’s symptoms seem very similar to what my friend was experiencing about 5 years ago. The blank stares, the “getting stuck,” the way he walks and holds his arms, the slurred speech, the jumbled thoughts, the soft voice, not being able to finish a sentence without getting lost. I had kept my thoughts to myself. But last night my friend’s wife mentioned the same thing. Dementia is clearly part of Parkinson’s, including hallucinations and hearing things. There are many forms and causes of dementia. I’m thinking Biden’s may be due to Parkinson’s.
He had jet lag ...
Our corrupt 'elites' need to understand - - "no one can fool all the people all the time".
TRUMP’S FAULT! /s
It’s amazing how many morons didn’t realize this idiot was demented too. It took that face plant at the debate for them to realize. The guy shat his pants on Tik Tok for Pete’s sake. If I was them I’d keep my mouth shut.
Jill has been waiting decades to be First Lady you owe it to Jill to hang in there. How will your family survive if you drop out. I don’t see a Biden Foundation getting much funding.
Yes, flying from Maryland to Georgia!
What’s disturbing is that 30% of the respondents bought into the excuses by the administration like having a cold, over preparation, having the debate too late in the day and just plain old bad luck. Plus 18% are still unsure or don’t know what caused his crap show of a performance at the debate.
Our grandpa has advanced Alzheimer. By now he is totally lost, but Biden reminds me of him about three-four years ago.
Similar blank states, closing his eyes, loosing thoughts, hallucinations, walk, holding his hands.
So Alzheimer has also similar symptoms.
.... trending..... It’s the 4th. of July....
Dementia Joe has got to go
Side effects of the jab?
There is a reason why dementia patients are separated from other residents.They need one on one help with the simplest tasks. Soon Joe will need help sniffing children and drinking from a straw or eating ice cream. Let’s see him do a simple puzzle.my stepfather had to do nursery school puzzles daily and the progression of decline was evident with every puzzle. Joe is unfit.
It’s a bombshell to the DM.
Well, when you’ve got your head jammed up your Deep State’s backside...
Of course he’s unfit.
He was unfit when they installed him.
That was why Deep State installed him.
Despots are paranoid, and Deep State is no different.
Their next pick, betcha, if they have to make one will be Uncle Festerman.
