A new poll finds rare agreement across partisan lines and in this case President Joe Biden is the unifying figure, though not the way he would prefer to be.
President Joe Biden speaks on the anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act during an event in the East Room of the White House on Aug. 16, 2023.

They preferred such terms over “president,” “leader,” “strong” or “capable.” One who approves of his performance nevertheless called him “senile.”
“I see all the symptoms my grandpa had,” he said. “You can’t be ruling a country” that way. His granddad now is 94. Saldana supports Trump despite hesitancy over the criminal charges against him. Noah Burden, 28, poses for a portrait outside his apartment complex on Aug. 23, 2023, in Alexandria, Va. Not that she places great value in experience, except in foreign affairs. “D.C. is a swamp,” she said, “and the more experience you have, the more you sink into the swamp.”
