Next year he will be 81 years old. And he will be running for a second term at the head of the White House. Although he has the support of his party, Joe Biden elicits mixed reactions among voters.

In New York, a traditionally Democratic city, the second candidacy of the Democratic president gives something to talk about. “His first term of his is turning out just as I expected. He hasn’t kept many of his promises,” a New Yorker tells R.F.I..
The man that Biden’s balance sheet is not totally satisfactory, especially in terms of protecting individual liberties such as the right to abortion and the rights of LGBTQ communities.
Joe Biden’s popularity rating is stuck below 40%. And his age divides: “He shouldn’t be a candidate. He would have to find someone who has all of his abilities. He’s too old,” says a New Yorker.
Instead, this US citizen believes that Biden “is someone who knows how to make the government work. This is what he counts and it doesn’t matter if he has trouble speaking or pronouncing certain words. If Donald Trump or Ron de Santis is before him, I vote for Biden without hesitation before those two clowns.”
Despite the misgivings of some, many New Yorkers believe that Joe Biden is best placed to beat the Republicans. “I think he’s a good president, he’s sober, he’s not loud. I’d rather vote for the devil than vote for Trump,” concludes another New Yorker.
And the good news for Joe Biden is that he’s still more popular than Donald Trump in the polls.
