The fate of the world hung in the balance for 13 days. JFK had imposed a blockade on Cuba after surveillance revealed Soviet missile site being built on the communist island in 1962.
War was only averted when Moscow turned back its ships, cementing Kennedy's image as a decisive leader who face down the Soviet Union.
It had been a grueling experience. As first lady Jackie Kennedy later said: 'It seemed there was no waking or sleeping.'
But now only one in four voters believes President Joe Biden has the endurance to do the same and stay up for 48 hours during a similar crisis, according to a new poll for DailyMail.com.
It found that voters have become more concerned that his advancing age will impair his ability to do the job since we last asked the question in March.
And it comes when he is under intense pressure to step down from the Democratic presidential nomination after a disastrous presidential debate with Donald Trump in Atlanta, Georgia.
This week Biden even addressed his advanced age during a meeting with Democratic governors.
Sources said he told them his aides would stop scheduling events after 8 p.m. so that he can get more sleep.
When J.L. Partners asked 1000 likely voters whether they thought Biden could stay up through a Cuban Missile-type Crisis only 24 percent said yes.
Only 38 percent said they believed he could remember the name of a world leader with whom he was talking (down from 46 percent in March), with a similar number saying they believed he could digest his daily national security briefings (down from 43 percent.
Some 37 percent said they believed he could make it through a one-hour meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin (from 43 percent in March).

How sad, one in four democrat voters are just as mentally compromised as Joe
President Biden managed to gain ground on former President Donald Trump in key battleground states and trails by only 2% — even after his disastrous debate performance last week, a new poll shows, according to a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult tracking poll released Saturday.Although Biden is losing in Pennsylvania, the state where he grew up, he now leads Trump in Michigan and Wisconsin.

Trust these polls at your own discretion.
Lewy body dementia. A type of parkinsons that is rapid in onset, usually detected post mortem. Swiftly impacts motor skills and memory. I have read 4 different doctors stating that Joe shows classic Parkinson’s.
But the article keeps up the ageism discrimination drum and never mentions any other problems Joe might have.
Anyone who thinks it matters is a moron. In other words, someone who “voted” for BeijingBiden.
REally? Someone actually thought that BB has been involved in anything other than what ice cream today and when his nap starts? Really?
You must be an avid CNN reader.
That.
More and more people on the left thinking he should drop out, but yet polls are gaslighting and saying Biden is closing in on Trump’s poll numbers
Really? Why? What has Biden done since the debate debacle? Nothing except make more gaffs proving the debate was no fluke, yet supposedly Biden “is gaining”
The left are still in the business of gaslighting/outright lying
“...almost half fear his age increases chance of an attack”
Yet 2/3 of that half still plan to vote for him.
if that were to happen, DOCTOR JILL WOULD BE THE ONE GIVING ORDERS!!
