Polls Show Increasing Concerns About Trump’s Mental Acuity

Recent national polls show 56% of Americans doubt Trump’s mental sharpness and 51% question his physical health, with confidence declining among his own base as well.

  • On Tuesday, a Reuters-Ipsos poll found 61% of Americans agree Trump has `become erratic with age`, while a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll last week showed majorities doubted his mental sharpness and physical health.
  • The White House's slow disclosures and Trump's public display of bruises and dozing during events have fueled public doubts about his fitness, despite his claims of passing cognitive tests.
  • Reuters-Ipsos shows the percentage saying Trump is mentally sharp fell from 54% in September 2023 to 45% today, with confidence in his mental fitness dropping from 39% to 32%.
  • Pollsters warn the trend could shape the 2026 debate as concerns about President Donald Trump's fitness approach levels that forced former President Joe Biden from the 2024 race.
  • Among the president's base, about 3 in 10 express concern about his fitness, including 30% of Republicans, while Pew Research Center and CNN last month echo this trend.
