According to a recent CBS News poll, an increasing number of Americans think President Joe Biden should not be running for a second term after his disastrous debate with Donald Trump.
A CBS/YouGov poll taken in the wake of the first debate found nearly three-quarters of responders believe Biden does not have the mental and cognitive ability to serve as POTUS.
72% of Americans want him gone.
Former CNN anchor Brian Stelter shared the poll on X.

From CBS News:
These views are very similar whether people watched the debate live or just watched highlights or coverage about it, which may speak more generally to the way people get and process information in the modern era.
And Mr. Biden has made no meaningful inroads on convincing voters that a second term would make them financially better off: Trump still is seen as better on this measure.
Nor has Mr. Biden cast himself as better than Donald Trump at protecting democracy.
