Voters are skeptical of Biden's age. But Trump's notable flubs risk drawing unwelcome attention, too

President Joe Biden is 80 and Donald Trump is 77, and they are prone to making gaffes. But polls show that voters view age as more of a liability for Biden than they do for Trump. An August poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that 77% of U.S. adults viewed Democrat Biden as too old to be effective for four more years. The same poll found 51% of adults said Republican Trump is too old. A professor who studies the characteristics of elected leaders says that such perceptions are tied to different expectations for each man and that Trump's supporters have shown a willingness to overlook more significant flaws.
