ore Americans say former Vice President Joe Biden has the mental clarity to be president versus Donald Trump, according to the latest Fox News poll released Sunday. Despite the Trump campaign and the president himself repeatedly questioning the mental acuity of Biden, a larger percentage of U.S. adults say they believe the Democratic presidential candidate has the traits best suited for the job. A slight majority of likely voters—51 percent—told Fox News they believe Biden, 77, has the "mental soundness" to be president, compared to 47 percent who say the same about Trump, 74.

These days I believe a Fox News poll almost as much as I believe a Huffpost or CNN poll. Sad that Fox has imbibed so much Koolaid recently.

Ever since Paul Ryan joined their B of D, FOX has gone down the drain. Even their streaming site is garbage now.

The voters in this "poll" must, themselves, be mentally unsound if they believe this. I wish I had a list of their names so I could sell the Brooklyn Bridge to each of them.

If this is to be believed, the MSM is doing one helluva a bang up job of shielding Biden's mental incapacity from their consumers.

Can we test the mental acuity or clarity of those who polled favorably for Biden?

Sadly, I beliieve this poll. If you don't actively seek out real news, you're not going to know about Biden's diminished state. CNN/ABC/NBC/MSNBC/LATimes/NYTimes aren't showing clips of his decline!

This is BS. But it is also exactly why Creepy Uncle Joe Biden will never set foot on a debate stage with Donald Trump!!!
Biden's handlers will find every excuse in the books to avoid the debates like a plague, and the MSM will find a way to blame it all on President Trump!!!

And in related news:
The same Faux News Poll shows that Coyote is smarter than Roadrunner, Daffy Duck is smarter than Bugs Bunny, and Sylvester is smarter than Tweety.

Trump Derangement Syndrome has infected Fox News. But ask yourself who's dealing in voter suppression now. How could anyone watch Joe Biden struggle to make a complete sentence, answer a question, give facts and figures and say he's more mentally sound than President Trump? Is Fox using Bagdad Bob's playbook? It sure sounds like it.

This is pure BS. Nobody believes Biden is more mentally sound then Trump. If they do, then they haven't been paying any attention at all. And what's with Fox polling? Who the f is doing the polls? How are the questions asked, and to whom are they asking?

The media has done yeoman's work in hiding the fact the Joe is a few fries short of a Happy Meal. The same media has spent nearly four years telling us Trump is certifiable. Given that a recent study found that a large majority of people trust *their* sources for news (but not *yours*) then it's entirely possible to conduct a poll and get these results... even if those results don't mean squat.

If Fox News had polled people around my part of Kentucky, they would have found that most people think that Joe Biden is senile and that Donald J. Trump should continue being the President.

#21 SafariMan - Imbeciles?
I believe it was George Carlin who once quipped something like - think of how stupid the AVERAGE American is and realize that half of the country is stupider.
Most people I know pay little or no attention to politics and take little notice of any current event which does not directly affect them.

If it was a real poll, they would give us the details. How was it weighted? How many were polled? Was it an online poll?
Online polls are essentially garbage.

You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can not get away with this thought. There is no way on God’s green earth that a majority of American’s believe that Dementia Joe is more capably mentally than a turnip, let alone President Trump. This is one of the most outrageous and insulting poll result that the media has fabricated. Stop the nonsense!

At the height of COVID Trump was doing 60-90 minute press conferences 5 days/week for weeks on end. In the meantime all Dementia Joe can manage is a few brief carefully-staged appearances. Then he gets a week off to rest.

Fox also has a poll out today which says that Biden has more approval for his handling of the CV19 response than Trump. They’re lying. There’s no other explanation.

Well as a friend who only watches CNN said, “Why don’t they tell us George Floyd was a criminal?” She probably thinks Biden will beat Trump. I told her she was watching the wrong channel and needed to watch Tucker Carlson.

Fox News hasn't had a correct poll in several years. Their pollster is an anti-Trumper -- just the type person to produce "unbiased" polls /s/
