A separate Economist/YouGov poll released in April found that 48% of U.S. respondents believe that Trump is too old to be in the White House, and a Reuters/Ipsos poll in February found that 61% of Americans view Trump as growing erratic with age—including 30% of Republicans and 64% of independents.
As in previous years, the report says Trump scored 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a test used to detect memory issues or cognitive impairment.
Despite Trump’s agreeing to release his medical records after rejecting the calls while on the campaign trail in 2024, the President has remained relatively tight-lipped about his health.
Moreover, when he does agree to share information, many Americans might have trouble believing him. According to an Axios-Ipsos poll released in 2025, more than 70% of Americans believe that most politicians aren’t honest about their health.
Presidents are not legally required to release their medical records and their medical care is always protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). But it has been a modern practice for presidents to release such information to the public, including the last six of Trump’s predecessors. The same Axios-Ipsos poll last year found that nearly three-quarters of Americans support a legal requirement for the sitting President to release their medical records.
