Joe Biden has been voted the “biggest fool” in US politics in an exclusive new poll for the Daily Express US.
The poll by the Washington DC-based Democracy Institute also revealed that the US President’s ratings for his record in the White House are getting steadily worse as he gets closer to another showdown with Donald Trump in November.
The survey of 1,500 “likely” voters included a threeway split between Democrats, Republicans and independents with a large number from the latter two categories voting for Biden as being a fool.
According to the findings, Biden topped the poll with 30 percent while a high number of Democrat votes saw Trump come in second on 22 percent.
Vice President Kamala Harris came an embarrassing third with 14 percent while former Democrat turned Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy and Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rounded out the top five both on seven percent.

Democracy Institute director Patrick Basham explained that the 81-year-old Biden’s age and apparent memory losses have contributed to his hapless image. While Trump is 77, his energy has made Americans not see him in the same light.
He pointed out that earlier this year Biden’s own justice department said he was unable to stand trial because of memory loss.
Basham said: “We’ve asked over the months about what people think of Biden’s mental and physical capabilities. And it’s been largely negative, not disastrous, although unhelpful.
“It will be interesting going forward to ask now that it’s official with his own Department of Justice basically saying in black and white that he’s senile, unfit to stand trial. I think we’re at a point now.”
Biden has also been beleaguered by a number of gaffes including getting confused at press conferences, tripping on Air Force One stairs and at a presentation for military personnel, getting dates and names wrong in interviews and telling reporters he is off to bed.

The polling though carries even worse news about what Americans think of his record as President.
According to the findings Trump is on course to beat him by 45 percent to 42 percent which widens to 42 percent to 37 percent when Kennedy is factored in.
Americans disapprove of Biden’s record by 56 percent to 40 percent and disapprove of economic policy by 66 percent to 26 percent. This in a poll where 43 percent name the economy as their number one political issue.
Meanwhile, with two wars on his watch, Biden has a negative rating on foreign policy of 67 percent disapprove to 28 percent approve.
Americans think they were better off under Trump by 56 percent to 38 percent, believe Trump was a better President by 52 percent to 37 percent and 70 percent think the country is going in the wrong direction.
Most damning of all almost two third (61 percent) think the American dream is dead under Biden.
