"The fact is, based on these polling data, there is genuine concern among virtually all groups over Biden’s cognitive health," Issues & Insights Terry Jones said.

Biden has been known for being a gaffe-prone politician throughout his career, yet Republicans - and even some Democrats too - have pointed out recent verbal stumbles and physical stumbles, like his Rehoboth Beach bike fall, proposing the near-octogenarian should be done after one term.

The poll was conducted online from August 2 to August 4, with 1,335 U.S. adults polled.

The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percent.
