Perhaps the most striking poll came Tuesday, ahead of Trump’s first State of the Union address of his second term, which beat his own record for the longest speech to Congress.
The Reuters-Ipsos poll showed 61% of Americans agreed that Trump has “become erratic with age.” Even 30% of Republicans agreed with that sentiment.
The Reuters-Ipsos poll also showed a decrease in the percentage of Americans who say Trump is “mentally sharp and able to deal with challenges.” That number has dropped from 54% in September 2023 to 45% today.


Can’t wait for his inevitable slip live on TV. He’s gonna do or say something so dramatically heinous or stupid that even his most fervent supporters won’t be able to ignore it.
It’s a matter of weeks now, his frontal lobe is almost completely gone.
I like your optimism. But I think this can go on for a looong time. I’m actually betting on it, because I tend to lose bets. A rare occasion where winning and losing both counts as a win.
He already has. He went on some rant once about Hunter Biden having computers in his bathroom. And some conspiracy nonsense.
Hunter. Computers. Bathroom.

Nah I’m talking about something truly heinous, like what happened on the Island or to Epstein. Something he would boast about unfiltered and how he got away with it.
We have an expression for that, it’s called "Surely this . . . "
