1 / 4 of the nation’s voters suppose neither President Biden nor former President Donald Trump has the mental and cognitive health to serve as president.
While partisanship performs a task in these perceptions, that is led to what could also be a tricky tradeoff for some voters, with many independents voting for somebody — whether or not Mr. Biden or Trump — who they do not suppose has the cognitive skill to serve.
Trump fares comparatively higher than Mr. Biden in notion of cognitive skill, although neither is drawing huge confidence.
Only a few third of voters suppose Mr. Biden has the cognitive skill. Half of voters suppose Trump does.
These views are largely unchanged over current months.
Views are associated to partisanship, however Democrats are extra skeptical about Mr. Biden’s cognitive health — one in three are — than Republicans are about Trump’s.Â
Even so, the Democrats who do not suppose Mr. Biden has capability to serve are nonetheless voting for him over Trump.
Republicans, for his or her half, are much more skeptical about Mr. Biden, contributing to his decrease total numbers.Â
Similar to opinions of voters overall, extra independents view Trump as having the mental and cognitive health to serve, greater than say that about Mr. Biden.Â
These views are linked to vote: most of the independents who suppose Mr. Biden doesn’t have the cognitive health to serve as president are backing Trump, and those that do not suppose Trump has the cognitive health are backing Mr. Biden.

This CBS News/YouGov survey was performed with a nationally consultant pattern of two,063 U.S. grownup residents interviewed between June 5-7, 2024. The information contains an oversample in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The pattern was weighted by gender, age, race, and training, based mostly on the U.S. Census American Community Survey and Current Population Survey, as effectively as previous vote. The margin of error is ±3.2 factors amongst all adults and ±3.8 factors amongst registered voters.
