UH-OH, JOE! 1-In-5 Democrats Think That Biden Is Suffering From Dementia–And Most ‘Likely Voters’ Agree
Joe Biden has always been “gaffe-prone” but lately, the former Vice President has been really struggling to function.
It’s getting pretty obvious that this isn’t normal behavior.
In February, Biden forgot that he was running for President and accidentally said that he was running for the Senate. He also said, “look me over and if you like what you see, vote for me, or if not, vote for the other Biden.”
He’s relying on his notes even for basic information, and his team is very strict with cutting interviews off short.

During his “basement campaign” Biden posed a question to a pre-recorded video.

And then there are the gaffes.
According to Joe Biden, almost the entire population of the United States is currently dead.
THIS JUST IN: There are only 60 million people left in America! Why? Well, @JoeBiden said today that 120 million Americans have died because of COVID. Earlier in the campaign, he said 150 million Americans died of gun violence. So do the math! Oy Gevalt! pic.twitter.com/0yy0PftQMb

This means that every vote counts.
Voters have started to noticed that Joe’s not the same Joe that ran with Obama.
In a new Rasmussen poll, 20 percent of Democrats believe that Biden is exhibiting signs of dementia.
Nearly four-out-of-10 voters believe Joe Biden has dementia. Most voters, including just over half of Democrats, feel it is important for the likely Democratic presidential nominee to publicly address the issue.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 38% of Likely U.S. Voters think Biden is suffering from some form of dementia. Based on what they have seen and read, 48% disagree, but 14% are not sure.
Twenty percent (20%) of voters in his own party think Biden has dementia. But that compares to 66% of Republicans and 30% of voters not affiliated with either major party.
Critics contend that Biden’s frequent gaffes and confusing statements suggest he has dementia. Sixty-one percent (61%) of all voters believe it is important for Biden to address the dementia issue publicly, with 41% who say it is Very Important. Thirty-six percent (36%) say it is not important for Biden to speak out on the issue, including 19% who feel it is Not at All Important.

This follows a Zogby poll showing that the majority of likely voters believe that he is in the “early stages of dementia.”
A majority (55%) of likely voters surveyed thought it was more likely (much more and somewhat more likely combined) that Vice President Biden is in the early stages of dementia, while 45% thought it was less likely (much less and somewhat less likely combined). Overall, subgroups who normally approve of Trump’s job as president, were the most likely to believe Biden could be suffering from dementia. Thus, majorities of Republicans (77% more likely/23% less likely) and Independents (56% more likely/44% less likely) thought Joe Biden had early-onset dementia; while nearly a third of Democrats (32% more likely/68% less likely) thought this was the case.

In Biden’s first public appearance taking questions, Doug McKelway of Fox News asked about his cognitive abilities. Biden said that he has been tested and is “constantly tested.”
Here’s the full exchange:

Biden says that he is looking forward to facing off against Trump.
So are we, Joe. So are we.
Here’s what McKelway said of the interaction:

“There is speculation…there’s no hiding it anymore, that based upon several gaffes that Biden has made in recent months and even in recent years, that he is experiencing the first effects of some sort of mild dementia or cognitive impairment." pic.twitter.com/R8vOl81kLW

Because his performance at the Democratic debates was just stellar, right?
When it wasn’t boring, it just exposed how old he is.
Even Joe Rogan has said that Joe’s not all there…
(LANGUAGE WARNING)
But Democrats think he’s just fine.
This is what they’re willing to vote for:

The Democrats are desperate, but that doesn’t mean that Republicans should be complacent.
Get out there and vote on Election Day!
