A new poll reveals that 30% of Republicans believe former President Donald Trump is becoming 'erratic with age,' signaling growing concerns even within his own party. The findings come as Trump campaigns for a potential 2024 presidential run amid ongoing legal challenges and public scrutiny of his behavior.

Public perception of Trump's mental acuity has become a focal point in political discourse, particularly as he faces multiple criminal indictments and civil lawsuits. The poll results suggest that concerns about Trump's temperament extend beyond traditional partisan divides, potentially impacting his electability in a general election.

While Trump maintains strong support among his base, the 30% defection rate among Republicans represents a significant vulnerability. Political analysts note that age-related concerns could become a defining issue in the 2024 race, especially given Trump's age of 77 and his frequent public appearances that some critics describe as unpredictable.
