Biden will die in office, US voters fear as pollster reveals why Americans think Trump should win election

US voters fear that President Joe Biden will die during his second term if he wins the US general election.

Scarlett Maguire, director of research firm JL Partners, told The Sun’s Never Mind The Ballots program that many Americans worry about Biden’s age – and his ability to take on Vladimir Putin.

Scarlett spoke on The Sun’s new political program, which you can watch on Sol channel on YouTube It is thesun.co.ukabout the long-awaited November elections and Biden’s health.

She explained that many Americans are seriously concerned about 81-year-old Biden’s cognitive ability and his apparent decline.

And polls show that many think this is why Trump must win – otherwise they could have a president who is not mentally fit to face other leaders on the world stage.

Many are worried that he will not be able to get through a meeting with Putin – who is ten years younger, at 71.

Biden has stumbled into numerous gaffes during his presidency — including tripping on stairs and appearing forgetful, with a special counsel report saying his memory is “blurred” and “defective.”

The oldest president ever defended himself – saying his memory is “fine”, while his doctor insists he is “fit for duty”.

Scarlett explained: “We asked the American people if they thought Biden would still be alive in four years, at the end of his second term.

“Four out of ten didn’t think they could make it to the end.”

The pollster explained that Biden’s voter base has suffered because many Americans worry about his mental competence.

She told The Sun that her base “can come home” but “there are other issues at play, especially things that are happening in the Middle East”.

And Scarlett said Biden also had some “drop-off with ethnic minorities and younger voters.”

Voters, especially independents, worry about their mental capacity to tackle some of the biggest global issues at stake right now — like Putin’s illegal war in Ukraine.

Scarlett said: “Yes, if you have someone from his base and more independents worried about his mental capabilities, you know, we also ask ‘Do you think he could get through a meeting with Putin?’.”

And although American voters have “doubts” about Trump’s age and other aspects of his character, Scarlett says they have more faith in his ability to get things done.

We asked the American people if they thought Biden would still be alive in four years… Four in ten thought he wouldn’t make it to the end

She told The Sun: “They have doubts about his age, they have a lot of doubts about other aspects of Trump’s character, but fundamentally they think he is more aware and more capable of getting things done than Biden.”

What will matter most when it comes to the decisive vote, says Scarlett, is “the perception of the two leaders – especially Biden and some of his weaknesses.”

Interestingly, she also revealed that the current criminal trial Trump faces in New York is unlikely to affect him much in the election.

Scarlett said: “If you asked us this a year ago, we would have been much more inclined to say that this would all hurt you.

“Now, in fact, it’s looking more and more like this isn’t going to impact voters, they’re already priced in.

“They know who Donald Trump is, they’ve known him since 2016, that’s rallied his base and independents aren’t particularly surprised.”

“The things that are going to matter most are the economy, immigration and then the perception of the two leaders – especially Biden and some of his weaknesses.”

Despite outlining American fears about another Biden term, Scarlett told The Sun that the US election is “definitely as close as it gets”.

She said: “Anyone who says they know what’s going to happen is lying. It’s incredibly tight and the margins are very small.”

Despite there being a “national confrontation”, she explains that swing states are “what really counts”.

Scarlett told The Sun: “Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and North Carolina.

“That’s where the race will focus”

“Even with those races[s] Trump has an advantage especially in southern countries, Arizona is a little bit of a different proposition now, especially considering what happened with the abortion rule we just had.

“Biden tends to do better in Pennsylvania, in Wisconsin, but it’s very close and both will invest all their resources in those states.”

When Trump ran in 2016, Scarlet explains that he was “enormously helped in the race against Hilary Clinton by third-party candidates who divided the field.”

She said: “It looks like that will be the case this time.”

“Not only do you have RFK [Robert F. Kennedy Junior] but you have Jill Stein, you have Cornel West, it looks like right now they are going to hurt Biden more than Trump and make the whole race more unpredictable.”
