What Is The Ideal Age For A Presidential Candidate?


StudyFinds: New Age Of Politics? Half Of Americans Feel Trump, Biden, Sanders Too Old To Be President

StudyFinds.org survey shows Americans feel 48 is the ideal age for a presidential candidate.

BALTIMORE — Many polls have pointed to a general election featuring President Trump facing off against Joe Biden in 2020, but would the country be better off with a younger president? According to a survey conducted by StudyFinds.org, 72 years old is the average age at which Americans think a presidential candidate is too old to run for office.

This means that Americans may believe that the top candidates for presidency, including Donald Trump, who is 73, are simply too old to lead the nation. In fact, the top three Democratic candidates for president according to most poll — Joe Biden (76), Bernie Sanders (77), and Elizabeth Warren (70) — would all take the record for oldest president at the time of inauguration, which was set by Trump. At the time of his inauguration, Donald Trump was 70.6 years old.

WNU Editor: New medicines and technologies now help us live healthier and longer lives. So age is not a factor as it use to be. But speaking personally. I prefer a candidate to be 50+. In business leaders, my preference is different. I find the best years for an entrepreneur/manager is between 40 - 45 years old.

Well Biden and Sanders feel so old they were too old to half the country even years ago. Trump is the same age/older but he is remarkably fit and seems to always outshine his opponents in energy. Look at the Xi/Trump meeting. . Xi looks so intimidated and weak in it..same with Kim Jong Un and he's half his age (but he's a heavy smoker and doesn't do sports as far as I know. .Trump at least plays golf and seems to be decent at it)

Some of the ageds spend too much time at the local mummy juice infusion center to be effective. In retrospect that may not be an intolerable decision considering their political mindset. Miss nancy p. springs to mind along with the congressional head squaw; miss lizzie w. Then look at the stumbling, spent cartridge the country just dodged in the last election and her philandering sidekick and friend of the late Epstein, William Clinton jr., III. Or something. There's more as everyone but a few posters here will acknowledge but I'm weary of them and will type no more.

Anon@410.. I believe you. But I have to also agree that Trump despite being overweight seems to have a lot of energy. A lot.

I concur with the editor on this one.
