US President Joe Biden’s approval has taken a major hit as almost two-thirds of respondents for a recent NBC poll reported 'major concerns' over his mental and physical capability. In contrast, a little above a third of respondents expressed 'major concerns' over former US president Donald Trump’s mental and physical health for the top job. Mr Biden’s approval amongst African-American voters has taken a major slump since his first year as president – plummeting by 17 points, with Latino support dropping 18 points. During an interview in 2020 with American radio host Charlamagne tha God, Joe Biden accused African-American voters of not being “black” if they didn’t vote for him. The US President also called rapper LL Cool J 'boy' at a Congressional Black Caucus event over the weekend. Democrat Senator Cory Booker previously called out Mr Biden in 2019 for using the same inappropriate language in reference to African-American men. Many users took to X to show their disappointment in the US President following the NBC poll results, including one user who referred to the commander-in-chief as the 'worst kind of racist'.
