Devastating snap poll reveals how many independent voters think Joe needs to drop out after disastrous debate with Trump... who won the night by 36 POINTS

Some 62 percent said he should be dumped from the ticket.

Biden looked all of his 81 years on Thursday night as he repeatedly lost his train of thought and meandered into silence.

Trump, 78, was able to land his punches while his Democratic opponent struggled to push back on some of his more outlandish claims.

J.L. Partners polled 805 independent voters immediately after the 90-minute clash, and found that 68 percent said the former president won out over his White House successor.

Some 30 percent of people who voted Biden in 2020 concluded that Trump won the debate.

The poor performance left senior Democratic figures wondering whether they could replace Biden on the ticket.

And the poll found that even among Biden 2020 voters some 41 percent said it was time to find a new nominee.

James Johnson, Co-Founder of J.L. Partners, said it was a disastrous performance for Biden with independents.

'Voters are not surprised by Biden's performance: We know from other DailyMail.com polling that people expected him to perform poorly and think he is old and incompetent,' he said.

'But this was his chance to right that perception and instead he confirmed it—and then some.'

Trump, he said, looked like a safe pair of hands in contrast to Biden.

'Where this goes now is anyone's guess, but looking at these numbers it looks like Joe Biden cannot beat Donald Trump among independents,' he said.

'And if you can’t win the voters in the middle, you can't win the White House.'
