New in PJ Media:
In previous administrations throughout the history of the United States, the question didn’t even come up. Harry Truman had a sign on his desk proclaiming “The Buck Stops Here,” and no one doubted that it did. When Secretary of State William Seward wrote to President Abraham Lincoln politely offering to take over the heavy lifting of actually being the commander-in-chief, Lincoln just as politely replied that he would handle things, and he did. Nobody ever wondered if Theodore Roosevelt or Dwight D. Eisenhower were really in charge.
But questions have swirled around Old Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities and thus his ability to discharge the duties of the office he ostensibly holds ever since he began pretending to be president. And now a new poll has shown that a majority of Americans don’t really think Old Joe is running things at all. In other words, a majority of Americans are able to see what’s right in front of their faces.
This came in the context of a Rasmussen poll that focused on what Americans thought of Biden’s advanced age. Rasmussen Reports noted on Friday that “although more voters now think President Joe Biden is healthy enough to do the job, a majority agree that his age disqualifies the 80-year-old for a second term in the White House.”
This is odd, as it’s Biden’s obviously deteriorating cognitive abilities, not his age in itself, that show that he shouldn’t seek a second term (and shouldn’t have sought a first); nevertheless, “the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 30% of Likely U.S. Voters are Very Confident that Biden is physically and mentally up to the job of being President of the United States. Another 21% say they are Somewhat Confident in Biden’s capability, while 10% are Not Very Confident and 37% are Not At All Confident.”
This means that just over half of the 1,000 U.S. Likely Voters surveyed think Old Joe is both physically and mentally capable of performing the duties of the presidency, which is astounding given the recent evidence of both his physical (falling yet again while climbing the steps of Air Force One) and mental (forgetting the name of the person to whom he was singing “Happy Birthday”) decline. Not only that, but Rasmussen states that “these findings are a clear improvement from October 2021 when 50% were Not At All Confident in Biden’s ability to do the job.” This surge is astounding. Is Joe notably improving?
The survey respondents, however, did demonstrate some signs of lingering sanity; 59% thought Old Joe was “too old.” This included not just 71% of Republicans but even 52% of Democrats and 54% of independents. And not only that: Breitbart reported Saturday that “the survey also found a plurality, 48 percent, expressing the belief that others are making decisions for Biden behind the scenes, rather than the president actually doing the job of president himself.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Xi Jinping is the president of the USA. Biden is a Vichy France style puppet. The election was stolen & CCP=DNC, one in the same organization. This explains everything.

‘….a Shockingly Low Percentage of Americans Think Old Joe Biden Is Really Running Things.’
Good God, you’re quick off the mark on that side of the pond! Have you worked out who’s working him from behind yet, because it would be very interesting to know.
Westman says
There is a solution to Biden’s stair problem. Anyone of these companies would be pleased to install a stairlift on any stairway used for Air Force One. They could also make a portable unit to carry on the plane. A Tesla Power Wall could tickle the fancy of the President’s woke supporters as it energetically, without CO2 emission, sends him skyward.😌

A poll taken late January 2021 had revealed that two- thirds of the voters had felt hopeful about the Joe Biden.
By contrast, this new very low approval rating that many Americans become awake and have now are aware that Joe Biden is actually a subversive and un-American or, at least, completely incompetent and unfit to have ever been allowed to enter the Office of the US Presidency in the first place.
Furthermore, Biden is a lying unethical and unconscionable politician who is a catastrophe, a calamity and a curse to America and upon the American people.
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden has low approval rating because he is terrible in many ways . For example ,Biden had ordered the US pullout from Afghanistan that awful action of his that reveals the horrendous folly of his judgement in many wrong and tragic ways.
After all the Americans who died and the many other who had been terrible wounded and over a trillion dollars of wasted American taxpayers money invested in that awful mayhem is also awful.
Another horrible consequence of Biden’s treachery in Afghanistan are all those unvetted Afghan /Muslims now spreading across the United States. If any Americans, in any way are harmed by some those unvetted Afghan “refugees” who might be either criminals or violent jihadists then Biden will have their innocent blood on his wicked hands.
Since the end of August and because of that despicable villain Joe Biden, has betrayed and abandoned many Americans and left them to in Afghanistan to be brutally murdered by the Taliban.

And don’t forget his “Biden Border Crisis”.
We’ve been warned not to cross into Mexico. Not only due to possible violence and kidnappings, but also because the cartels are starting to counterfeit the prescription drugs that seniors cross the border to get because they’re cheaper in Mexico.
Also, the trafficking is moving from Yuma to Nogales.

During once during the four years the administration of President Trump I told to a committed Democrat that “I greatly respect President Trump.”.
To my statement she replied “I hate Donald Trump” She didn’t tell me why, maybe to couldn’t find a rational reason to feel as she did ?
Later, after Joe Biden entered the Oval Office White House as “President” I asked Biden fan Democrat “Why do you believe that Joe Biden is so good for America ?” She answered me “I love Joe Biden” That wasn’t my question .It wasn’t “How do you feel about Joe Biden ?” Her reply further proves that the supporter of Biden base their support of him on emotion and not reason or logic.
Walter Sieruk says
I know a Democrat and she said to me “I love Joe Biden.” Yet she did not or could not tell me why she felt like that about him.
Her husband later told me that she always votes Democrat because “that’s the way she was raised.”
That’s completely mindless and unthinking and lame excuse for a person to support anyone or any cause or take action in any brainless behavior whatsoever. For by the time a person grows into his or her late teens or early twenties he or she should be able think for himself or herself and filter out and disregard all the nonsense from the good ideas.
Walter Sieruk says
The reason why so many US citizens now very strongly dislike Joe Biden is because they have caught on that Biden doesn’t care about America or the American people, so it’s an action of futility to contact that pseudo “president” about any impotent matter. For Biden will not respond to reason or logic.
That fiendish villain, Biden and his administration are an abomination to everything that is wise, good .fair decent just and right. As he has proven by his appointments, orders policies and politics of are nothing but folly and madness if not outright reason.
With all the awful things done by Biden, he is an extremely incompetent fool and outright idiot, or the second case is the he is a treacherous treasonous subversive scoundrel and an outright villain.
tim gallagher says
It is amazing that such high percentages do seem to think that Biden is capable of doing the job of President. They surely have to be people who never watch the TV news and never see the doddering old man in action. His mind is shot to pieces due to his dementia and physically he is a shambling old wreck who looks fragile. He has to be nothing but a puppet who goes out and says whatever his handlers tell him to say. I’m sure that, on quite a few days, they probably have to tell Biden what day it is. He is off on some other planet a lot of the time. His lack of mental acuity is a danger for the entire world.
somehistory says
What is really shocking….that anyone believes (not using the word “thinks” because they can’t be) he is capable of anything other than bragging, lies and corrupt actions.
It’s shocking that so many refuse to see how criminally responsible he is. And to cover over his many lies, they must lie to themselves.
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
Some people on the “Left” have woken up but people on the “Far Left” are actually pleased with Biden’s performance – to date.
