The aging president’s mental and physical fitness has been an issue for years. But now it’s all come to a head.
And Joe Biden collapses in front of reporters during a disturbing scene caught on camera.
Before heading back to Washington, D.C. after spending some time at Camp David, President Joe Biden spoke with reports about recent poll numbers.
“What’s your message to Democrats who are concerned about your poll numbers?” a reporter asked Biden.
“My poll numbers? The last five polls you guys don’t report. I’m winning – five! Five in a row,” the president shot back in his response.
“You guys only look at the New York Times,” he continued.

As for the five polls Biden is referring to, it’s difficult to identify those.
According to an average from RealClearPolitics, the president is only ahead in three of the last ten national polls. One of those polls he’s tied in.
FiveThirtyEight, also shows Biden trailing former President Donald Trump in many of their national polling averages.
Even CBS News has Trump ahead of the president 52% to 48%.
As for recent swing state polls, Trump also has a leads over Biden in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and North Carolina.
The president does have a lead in three of the past five polls in Pennsylvania and one of the past five in Wisconsin, but there’s no polling out there that shows he’s ahead in “five in a row,” like he claimed to reporters.
And speaking of polling, President Biden’s job approval numbers are also not looking good for him.
His current job approval rating is at 38.2% according to a FiveThirtyEight average.
He isn’t faring much better on RealClearPolitics’ average, with just a 39.6% job approval rating.
So no, the press isn’t ignoring any polls like Biden suggests.
He’s simply not performing well against his political rival and likely Republican nominee, Donald Trump.
And instead of properly addressing Democrats’ concerns about his poll numbers, Joe Biden offers up a confused response that will only further hurt voter’s perceptions about him and his mental acuity.
