Nearly 8 in 10 Americans say a president should be required to take an annual mental health examination while in office, according to a new poll from CNN.

The poll found that 77 percent of respondents said a president should be required to undergo an annual exam that would check for mental health concerns like Alzheimer’s disease.

An even larger number — 82 percent — of those surveyed said a president should be required to take an annual physical exam.

Respondents, however, were split on whether the results of those exams should be made public. Forty-eight percent said they should be and 49 percent said they should remain private. When the same question was asked in 2004, more than 60 percent said the information should remain private.

Democrats were largely responsible for the shift in public opinion on the privacy of presidents’ health information, with only 37 percent of those polled saying presidents should have the right to keep the information private, a 20-point drop from the 2004 results.

Ninety-three percent of Democrats backed mandatory mental health exams, while 61 percent of Republicans thought the exams should be mandatory.

The recent publication of “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” an explosive book about the Trump administration, sparked some to ask questions about the president’s mental health.

Trump pushed back on the skepticism in a series of viral tweets earlier this month, calling himself a “very stable genius.”

White House Dr. Ronny Jackson examined Trump earlier this month, declaring him physically and mentally fit for office. He administered a cognitive assessment at Trump’s request, though such an evaluation is neither required nor typical.

“There’s no indication whatsoever that he has any cognitive issues,” Jackson said in a press briefing. “I’ve found no reason whatsoever to think the president has any issues whatsoever with his thought processes.”

Trump’s physical exam occurred during the survey period for the CNN poll, but CNN noted that there was no notable difference between responses from before the news about Trump’s exam and after.

The poll was conducted from Jan. 14 to 18 among 1,005 adults. The margin of error is 3.7 percentage points.
