Former President Donald Trump is losing older voters to Vice President Kamala Harris, a new poll shows.
A survey released by Emerson College on Thursday revealed that the majority of voters over 70 are supporting Harris, 51 percent, over Trump at 48 percent.
Those results show a major breakthrough for Harris, who has been able to surpass Trump’s lead with older voters. Just last month, with President Joe Biden still in the race, 50 percent of voters over 70 supported Trump, while 48 percent of the age group backed Biden.
The over 70 category includes both baby boomers, those born between 1946 and 1964, as well as the silent generation, anyone born between 1925 and 1945.
Don’t get complacent! Vote!
Right. Republicans also had/have not just thr road high, but really SUPER effective propaganda and funding/bribery machines in place, and just killing it on the gerrymandering and voter suppression fronts. And with things like the senate and electoral college numbers leaning their favor.
(Democrats of course do to some extent too, but it’s like comparing a 1930s Chicago mob to some neighborhood teenage gang)
That stuff is just continuing to get worse. And needs addressed.
I’m expecting the “dirty tricks” of 2020 to pale on comparison to 2024.
