New polling numbers highlight a significant drop in voter confidence regarding President Biden's mental health, raising concerns about his ability to lead. According to a CBS News/YouGov poll conducted after the recent presidential debate, only 27% of voters believe Biden has the mental health to serve as president, down from 35% before the debate.
Alisyn Camerota of CNN asked about the new poll numbers, to which Harry Enten responded with a grim assessment. "We do. You know, CBS News-YouGov conducted some polling post-debate; we can compare it to the pre-debate numbers. And the bottom line, it's not any good. It's not any good. Look at this: voters who say that Biden has the mental health to be president. It was just 35% pre-debate. Look where it's dropped to now. Post-debate, 27%."

Enten emphasized the severity of the situation, noting that it isn't just about mental health ratings. "He should be running for president. It was 37% pre-debate, it's now 28%. I have never seen numbers this bad for an incumbent president during my lifetime. I mean that mental health to be president, just 27%."
He also compared the current figures to those from 2020, pointing out the stark difference. "You might say, okay, you know, that's low, but a lot of people thought Biden was too old back in 2020. These numbers look nothing like this. Back in 2020, these numbers were bad already, and the truth is, Alisyn, they have gotten just considerably worse, even in just a few days after that first presidential debate."
