00:00It's not looking good for the Democrats at the moment. In election year, a new poll in
00:07the United States finds that a majority of Americans feel that at the age of 81, Joe
00:12Biden is simply too old to serve another term as president. The findings of this poll were
00:18released just days after a special counsel's report that was looking into Mr Biden's handling
00:24of classified documents raised questions about his mental fitness. The special counsel said
00:30that Mr Biden didn't remember when he was vice president and didn't even recall when
00:34his son had died of cancer. Mr Biden strongly hit back at this report but it didn't help
00:41that when he held the press conference to refute what this report said, he ended up
00:45mixing up the presidents of Mexico and Egypt. At 81, President Biden is only a few years
00:53older than Donald Trump, who's 77 years old. Trump also makes a lot of gaffes. He mixed
00:59up Nancy Pelosi and Nikki Haley, but no one is pointing fingers at him in the same way.
01:04That's simply also because in terms of physique, in terms of how they conduct themselves, the
01:10two men are very different. Mr Biden is looking more frail with age. He's taken some stumbles
01:16on camera, whether it's on a bike or stairs, and he's come back up as well. But it has
01:22put a lot of focus on his age. Is that fair? Well, it is the highest office in the United
01:27States, so age will clearly be a factor. But ultimately, Americans will have to decide.
01:33Is age going to be the most important issue in this election? Or is it going to be the
01:37economy, abortion, and so much more that America is dealing with?
