Presidential Candidates Under Question of their Mental Fitness?

Analysts from CNBC and Change Research has polled over 4,100 likely general election voters between the days of September 4th through September 6th. The results show stunning conclusions which depict the true belief of the American people have for both candidates. The majority of the American voters surmise that Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, and President Donald J. Trump are both mentally unfit to be President of the United States. Key findings from the poll had revealed startling information which has stated “The mental and physical fitness of both candidates has been brought up in various ways during their campaigns and majorities of likely voters believe that both men are mentally unfit: 55% of likely national voters, 51% of likely battleground voters say Trump is mentally unfit to be President. 52% of likely national and battleground voters say Biden is mentally unfit to be President“(CNBC, 2020).

Explanations may suggest this outcome to be a survey which showcases the polar partisan dilemma that our nation has exacerbated throughout every election cycle. However, this scenario in particular is especially interesting with the consideration of Joe Biden’s central argument to his 2020 campaign revolving around electability and how the “only thing that should matter to Democrats is nominating someone who can beat him” (Cillizza, 2020). Regardless, this inclusion of variables are sure to not only create one of the most peculiar election races of American history, but as the results show, it is also to be one of the most disappointing.
