Readable Markdown	Nearly half of Americans believe that [Donald Trump](https://www.newsweek.com/topic/donald-trump) is too old to be president. According to new polling by YouGov, 49 percent of people think that the president is of too advanced an age to serve in office, a 15-percentage point increase from February 2025. Newsweek contacted the White House by email to comment on this story. ## Why It Matters At 78 years old, Trump was the oldest man to be elected president. There has recently been growing concern about Trump's health. In July, photos of the president's bruised hand circulated on social media, and the White House revealed that [Trump had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency](https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-chronic-venous-insufficiency-2100660), which his physician described as "benign and common."

In February 2024, 34 percent held that view. That increased to 43 percent in August 2024, then increased again to 45 percent in November 2024—when the presidential election took place. When Trump took office in January 2025, the share of Americans who saw him as too old dipped slightly to 43 percent, then dipped further in April to 42 percent before reaching a 49 percent high in September. Meanwhile, the polling also found that 63 percent of Americans believe Trump's health and age affect his ability to perform his job while 49 percent believe he is suffering a cognitive decline. A further 51 percent believe Trump is not providing enough information about his health and 56 percent said they only trust White House information about Trump's health "a little" or "not at all." The YouGov poll was conducted online on from September 2 to 4 among 1,177 U.S. adult citizens. The margin of error is approximately 4 percent. President Trump's approval rating has recently been taking a hit, even among demographics that have in the past been generally supportive of his policies. According to polling by The Economist/YouGov, Trump's net approval rating among Americans with a yearly income of more than \$100,000 [was at -16 percentage points,](https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-approval-rating-rich-americans-2124431) down from -10 r[ecorded in July](https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-approval-rating-polls-wealthy-voters-2100854). And, according to polling by ActiVote, Trump's net approval rating among rural Americans has declined from +22 percentage points in August to +14 points in September. ## What People Are Saying Sean Barbabella, the president's physician, in a July memo: "The president underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies. Bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70."
