Public opinion polls show Americans are more worried about the advanced age of Mr. Biden, who is 81. Mr. Trump is scheduled to speak on Friday at a birthday party organized for him in West Palm Beach, Florida, by a group of die-hard supporters. He has also described Mr. Trump as a threat to democracy and criticized his sometimes rambling speeches, as well as Mr. Trump's use of inflammatory rhetoric against immigrants. Some 53% of respondents said Mr. Trump, who was president from 2017-2021, was too old for government work. Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden are neck-and-neck in national opinion polls, with Mr. Trump ahead in several of the battleground states that could decide November's contest.
