The voters: Biden is too old for another term
American voters have record low confidence in President Joe Biden, according to a survey by ABC. 36 percent think the current president is doing a good job.
According to the survey, seven out of ten voters think that the 80-year-old president is too old to handle another term.
Considerably fewer, 44 percent of voters, see Biden's potential opponent, 76-year-old Donald Trump, as too old. Trump is thought to surpass Biden when it comes to the mental acuity and physical health required to function effectively as president.

The shooting at the Texas outlet
Witness heard the shots: "Then we'll see how he shoots"
Hundreds of people fled in panic when the gunman got out of his car and started shooting recklessly at people at the mall in Texas yesterday afternoon local time, AP writes.
A witness told the BBC he heard ten shots, then another 15.
- Then we see this guy, dressed all in black, who just shoots people. 16-year-old Maxwell Gum works in the mall. He describes how everyone started running when the first shots were heard, and how children were trampled in the panic that broke out.
- My colleague picked up a four-year-old girl and handed her over to her parents, he says and explains that he and several others took shelter in a storage room.
Nine people, including the perpetrator himself, died. The police have not yet released information about the dead, but according to the BBC, some of the victims are children. A five-year-old child is also said to be one of several people being treated in hospital after the shooting.
