President Joe Bidenâs presidency is not going as smoothly as he probably hoped it would.
This represents an 11-point drop from March, when Pew found 54% of respondents said âmentally sharpâ was a fitting descriptor for the president.
On top of the border crisis, cratering approval numbers, infighting among congressional Democrats, incompetent federal health officials bumbling their way through the coronavirus pandemic, and the chaotic, disorderly withdrawal from Afghanistan, thereâs also a growing consensus the president is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, according to new Pew Research Center polling data.
A majority of respondents in Pewâs most recent survey (56%) said âmentally sharpâ either describes him ânot at all wellâ or ânot too well.â
As if the steep decline in public opinion of the presidentâs smarts was not embarrassing enough, it turns out Bidenâs mental acuity specifically is where Pew found the sharpest drop in all of his polled personal characteristics.
âPositive evaluations of several of Bidenâs personal traits and characteristics have shown similar decreases,â Pew reports. âCompared with March, fewer adults say Biden cares about people like them, and fewer describe him as standing up for his beliefs, honest, a good role model and mentally sharp.â
It adds, âBiden receives his least positive assessments for being mentally sharp. Currently, 43% say this describes Biden very or fairly well, an 11-point decline since March.â
Put more simply, the longer the president is in office, the dumber people think he is. And itâs likely not because of any single issue. The White House is the major leagues, as a former vice president, of all people, ought to know. His every move and action is now under scrutiny. He has to think on his feet and respond in real-time to real-life crises. The public can see now how Biden comports himself as the commander in chief. Itâs not just a theoretical game anymore. He canât just promise to do better than the last guy. He is actually expected to deliver, and to deliver competently and efficiently.
So far, the public apparently isn't impressed.
