“The numbers are truly shocking in terms of the movement that we’re seeing in terms of believing that Trump is, in fact, physically capable to be president,” Harry Enten said on CNN.
Enten pointed to polling from 2023 that showed 64 percent of respondents believed Trump is in “good enough” health to be president. A more up-to-date poll shows only 44 percent still believed that to be true.
“That’s a tremendous drop,” Enten said. “The American people are seeing what they’re seeing on their screens. They’re passing judgment on this.”

Trump isn’t running for reelection like former President Joe Biden was when his health concerns and age became points of criticism. However, Enten said those polling numbers still matter ahead of a midterm.
“I think a lot of voters are saying, ‘Hey, do we want to continue to give Republicans power who will help, of course, to empower the president of the United States?'” Enten explained. “And Trump’s numbers on his physical health on starting to look an awful bit like Joe Biden’s were going into the 2024 election, and that is not a comparison you want.”
