Republicans and the business media have spoken for years about the age of former President Joe Biden and got into a rowing about what they thought was a cognitive decline when, as far as we know, It may have been cancer that influences Biden.
All the talk about age and cognitive seems to blow back on Republicans after they have now put 79-year-old Donald Trump back in the White House.
Most Americans are very worried about Donald Trump’s mental capacity and the lack of health files released by the current president.
Here are the latest data of the Ipsos/Axios poll:
-
Half of the public says that the American public receives too little information about the health of the current president of the United States (50%), where Democrats (68%) say this more often than independent (47%) and Republicans (33%).
-
About three in five (59%) say that the American public does not receive sufficient information about the health of members of the congress.
-
One in four Americans (25%) says that they agree that most chosen officials are honest with the American public about their health, while 72% disagree.
-
Seventy -four percent say they think there must be a legal requirement for a current president to share his health files, including majorities of Democrats (83%), Republicans (70%) and Independents (72%). Less say that there must be the same legal requirement for former presidents (40%).
-
About four of the five respondents (81%) agree that there should be a legal requirement for a current president to undergo cognitive tests and sympathizes, with public results. Democrats agree with this statement (88%) than independent (76%) and Republicans (79%).
A question does not receive support from 81% in a poll without a broad consensus between Democrats, Independent and Republicans, so it is not one partisan belief that influences the results.

It is a safe assumption that the next president will be younger than Trump for several decades, and the idea of ​​cognitive tests for presidents will evaporate from the public spirit.
