Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title implies that a majority of Biden's voters now say he is too old to be effective when in fact only 61% said so and even fewer (19%) expressed concern about his age being such a problem that he was no longer capable of handling the job.
The article states 'A sizable share was even more worried: Nineteen percent of those who voted for Mr. Biden in 2020, and 13 percent of those who said they would back him in November, said the 81-year-old president's age was such a problem that he was no longer capable of handling the job.' However this is not accurate as only 61% expressed concern about his age being too much.
