As Biden ends campaign, focus shifts to health for remainder of his term

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

29% : A CBS News/YouGov poll conducted last month found that 72 percent of registered voters believed Biden lacked the mental and cognitive health to serve as president, compared with 49 percent who felt the same of Trump.
27% : But the shifting political reality had complicated his reelection bid: The president had been lagging behind Trump in polls across key battleground states, even as other Democrats fared better in hypothetical matchups against Trump.
16% : Biden's performance in his June 27 debate against Trump -- during which the president struggled to explain some of his core policies and repeatedly tripped over his words -- prompted worries from Democrats but also health experts who feared a deeper medical problem.
7% : While the 78-year-old Trump has had his own struggles -- such as confusing names, misstating facts and delivering often meandering speeches -- voters have generally expressed more concern about Biden's age than Trump's.
