Biden’s Gen Z Approval Plummets Amid Growing Doubts on Mental Fitness
In a striking turn of events, President Joe Biden’s approval ratings have plummeted to an unprecedented low, with a significant portion of the disapproval stemming from Gen Z voters. Recent polling data from Monmouth University indicates an overall 61 percent disapproval of the President’s job performance, marking a notable decline from 44 percent in July to a historic low of 34 percent.

Kale Ogunbor, a first-generation Nigerian-American university student and self-proclaimed Republican, voiced the sentiments of many young voters on a recent appearance on Fox & Friends First. Ogunbor remarked, “It’s been reported that over 40 percent of Joe Biden’s presidency has been spent on vacation. And I think a lot of Americans, including Gen Z, don’t want a president who seems more like he’s retired the next four years after 2024.”
Gen Z perspectives extend beyond lifestyle critiques to questions about President Biden’s cognitive abilities. Ryan Edwards, another Gen Z voter, expressed doubts about the President’s capability to make complex decisions, stating, “I just think that he is lacking the cognitive ability to lead the country … I think in order to lead the free world, to lead America, you must make hard and complex decisions in the blink of an eye, and I don’t think we have that with Biden.”
Comparisons with former President Donald Trump further underscore the unease. An October Monmouth poll found that 76 percent of voters believe Biden is too old for a second term, compared to only 48 percent who felt the same about Trump. The age factor, coupled with doubts about decision-making abilities, continues to be a significant point of contention among the younger demographic.
As these concerns escalate, voices like 17-year-old Brilyn Hollyhand emphasize the need for scrutiny and transparency. Hollyhand likened Biden’s presidency to a comedy movie, stating, “It’s been a ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ at the White House ever since January 20, 2021.” Concerns about cognitive decline and assertions that the First Lady is the de facto commander-in-chief are raising questions about the transparency of leadership.
