A poll released by CBS News on Sunday found that more voters have doubts about President Biden's cognitive abilities after Thursday's presidential debate.

The poll, which was conducted between Friday and Saturday, found that 18% of voters thought Biden's debate performance inspired confidence, while 44% believed that former President Trump's performance did. Only 21% of polled voters believed that Biden presented his ideas clearly.

When asked earlier in June if Biden had the mental and cognitive health to serve as president, 35% of respondents said he did. After the debate, that number dropped to 27%.

Sixty-five percent of polled voters said Biden did not have the mental and cognitive health to serve as president when asked on June 9. That number has increased to 72%.
