Approximately 61% of Americans believe that President Donald Trump has become increasingly erratic as he ages, according to a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll. This sentiment is echoed by a considerable percentage of his critics, with 57% describing Trump’s immigration policies as the most detrimental aspect of his presidency during his second term.
The poll, conducted between February 18-23, revealed that this perception spans across political lines, with about 30% of Republicans also agreeing that Trump’s behavior has become erratic. This response follows Trump’s sinking popularity over files related to the country’s most infamous pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein.
Recent snippets of interviews and Trump responses to that case have caused many within his base to grow upset with the presiden, driving one of them to even attempt to assassinate Trump at Mar-A-Lago.

The findings are significant in illustrating the prevailing concerns among the electorate regarding Trump’s mental acuity and decision-making capabilities as he nears the age of 80. Notably, 17% of Republicans believe he is not mentally sharp enough to handle challenges effectively.
This public perception of Trump’s erraticism may carry implications for the broader Republican Party strategy as the 2026 midterm elections approach. Analysts suggest that the discomfort among some staunch Republican constituents could signal challenges for Trump in galvanizing unwavering support amidst skepticism from a segment of the party’s base.
With such high percentages of the population questioning Trump’s stability, how the president addresses these concerns could be pivotal in shaping his campaign narrative moving forward.
