Nearly half of voters expect Biden to forget where he is during first debate with Trump: poll

Nearly half of voters expect President Joe Biden to forget where he is during his first debate with former President Donald Trump later this month.

According to a new poll by J.L. Partners, 49% of likely voters expect Biden to forget where he is during the June 27th CNN debate with Trump in Atlanta, while 41% believe Biden will walk off the wrong side of the stage.

The poll was conducted June 10-11 and surveyed 500 likely voters, the Daily Mail reported.

A total of 70% of respondents said that Biden would stumble over his words during the debate, and 79% believe that Trump will interrupt Biden. The poll also found that 50% of likely voters believe that Trump will win the debate, compared to 39% believing that Biden will, with 11% uncertain.

J.L. Partners pollster James Johnson said the poll is concerning for Biden.

"They show voters' deep concerns about his ability to govern," Johnson said. "However, there may be a medium-term win for Biden in that Trump has clearly set expectations for Biden in the debate very low."

"If Biden gets through and doesn't have a major mishap then that will be a win for the president," he added.
