This weekend’s New York Times and Siena College Poll that was released Sunday has to have the Biden White House coming unglued. It shows just how much even his own 2020 voters or supporters worry about his age – and their concern is intensifying. There’s literally no good news in the poll for Biden, and every piece now shows Donald Trump with a measurable and unmistakable lead.

The majority – 61% of voters who cast ballots for Mr. Biden in 2020 – now say he’s “too old to be an effective president.”

Among “All Registered Voters,” 73% said Mr. Biden is too old – and 45% said he can’t do the job.The lack of confidence in Mr. Biden stretched across several demographics, including age, race and gender.

The rapidly rising doubts about his mental capabilities come amid frequent public gaffes that have led some members of his party to question his cognitive status as the White House tries to tamp down public concerns.

At this point in time, it’s hard to see how Mr. Biden can regain his footing. Actually, D.C. Democrats have been saying behind closed doors and off the record that such an idea is now more than doubtful – it’s actually to the point where it’s unimaginable.

Notable in The Time’s Saturday story about the poll, though, was how its reporting did not cover the primary liability and cause for Biden’s rapid decline in support: His noticeable and increasing cognitive decline.
