Pollsters also noted that Trump won the debate, by a margin of nearly five to one, or 50% to 11%. Among Biden supporters, only 28% said that the sitting president won.
"Most voters cited mental sharpness as a factor in their opinion on the debate performance of both candidates," the release noted. "Those criticizing the 81-year-old Biden’s performance used words like 'confused' and 'incoherent.'"
"Supporters of Trump, who is 78, praised their candidate with words like ‘coherent/articulate’ and 'cognizant/present."
Biden's weak debate performance continues to rattle the Democratic Party. On Monday, one of Biden's longtime Senate colleagues called for a new nominee.
