A separate Economist\/YouGov poll released in April found that 48% of U.S. respondents believe that Trump is too old to be in the White House, and a Reuters\/Ipsos poll in February found<\/a> that 61% of Americans view Trump as growing erratic with age\u2014including 30% of Republicans and 64% of independents.<\/p>\n
