Reuters/Ipsos Poll Finds 6 in 10 Americans Say Trump Has Become Erratic with Age
A Reuters/Ipsos poll of 4,638 U.S. adults finds 61% view Trump as increasingly erratic, with only 45% seeing him as mentally sharp, showing sharp partisan divides.
- A Reuters/Ipsos six-day online survey found 61 per cent of 4,638 U.S. adults said President Donald Trump had "become erratic with age," with the poll concluding Feb. 23 and reported February 24, 2026.
- Following high-profile reprimands of lawmakers and judges, the poll concluded Feb 23, and found 61 per cent said Trump had "become erratic with age".
- Partisan splits were stark, with 89% of Democrats and 30% of Republicans describing him as erratic, while only 45% overall said he appeared mentally sharp and able to deal with challenges.
- Despite the poll's findings, about 40 per cent approved of Trump, and Davis Ingle dismissed it as 'fake and desperate narratives.'
- A wider takeaway from the poll is that 79 per cent say officials are too old, with the U.S. Senate average age about 64, the House 58, and Mr Trump turning 80 in June.
