Biden bleeding ‘trustworthy’ calling card over Trump post-debate: Poll

President Joe Biden’s appearance to voters as “trustworthy” sharply declined after delivering an incoherent performance during the first presidential debate, a new survey revealed.

Thirty-six percent of people view Biden as “honest and trustworthy,” according to a YouGov poll from this week. That number is a precipitous drop from 46% of voters who felt that way in a March Gallup poll.

Comparisons between the two surveys show former President Donald Trump has also seen a drop in people who believe the former president is honest, in this case 4%. However, Biden’s campaign has made it a point to attack Trump as dishonest and a threat to democracy, meaning the classification could mean a lot more to the Democratic Party.

Concerns over Biden’s trustworthiness have accelerated after his stumbling presidential debate last month and his subsequent attempts to control the damage.

The YouGov survey shows a combined 58% of voters believe the Democratic Party should either replace Biden as its nominee or remain unsure of what approach the Left should take. Only 42% say they are committed to supporting Biden as the Democratic nominee.

As Democrats weigh alternatives to a Biden reelection bid, the YouGov poll shows one of their top replacement picks would lose to Trump in November.

If Vice President Kamala Harris replaced Biden on the presidential ballot, the survey reports that she would lose 42% to 38%.
