Voters over 70 are backing Harris over Trump, 51 to 48 percent, Emerson College poll finds
A new poll shows some baby boomers and members of the Silent Generation are switching allegiances from former President Donald Trump to Vice President Kamala Harris.
The Emerson College poll released Thursday shows voters over 70 backing Harris over Trump 51 to 48 percent. That’s a small but positive shift for Harris, as last month, 50 percent of the group supported Trump while 48 percent backed President Joe Biden, who dropped out of the race and endorsed Harris last month.
The group includes some baby boomers, who were born between 1946 and 1964, and the Silent Generation, born between 1925 and 1945.

Sooo many boomers I know were so annoyed with Trump v Biden, saying “Anyone but these two.”
They got their wish.

Looks like she might have been right.
If she’d been nominated instead of Trump the GOP would win on a walk.
2 Democrats haven’t been elected into office twice in a row since before the Civil War (a VEEPS were elevated to the office through deaths) - this should have been easy for the GOP, but instead they nominated the most-divisive politician in American history.
Ehhh lots of the GOP is openly racist and wouldn’t vote for someone of Indian descent.
2 Dems haven’t won in a row after 8 year terms. No incumbent and no former president, I think that’d be an open race.

same with democrats and the ones of us who have escaped the Matrix are ridiculed by both parties for speaking against either corpo party

Yay, the both sides morons are back. 🙄
Awesome whataboutism.
Of the two sides, which of them is more open and honest and actually passes policies to help people? And which is one that name calls and blocks any policy just because the other side made it.
Dope word salad, looks delicious
Can you guys at least get some new material? You say the same thing over and over and over again.
that is because our leaders keep failing us on the same things over and over again
It might help if they watch a movie that isn’t The Matrix. Let’s start with that.
I really hate these headlines. 1. The actual shift is tiny (don’t get complacent). 2. Soon enough the media will be bored and cherrypick some numbers that are good for Trump generating new headlines. Anything to ensure the debate is not about policy.
