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 PresidentĀ Donald Trump to Vice PresidentĀ Kamala Harris.
The Emerson College poll released ThursdayĀ shows voters over 70 backing Harris over Trump 51 to 48 percent. Thatās a small but positive shift for Harris, as last month, 50 percent of the group supported Trump while 48 percent backed PresidentĀ Joe Biden, who dropped out of the race and endorsed Harris last month.
The group includes some babyĀ boomers, who were born between 1946 and 1964, and the Silent Generation, born between 1925 and 1945.
The larger number of ānot sureā may be due to having three extra weeks of knowing of Vance. Some people either are truly not sure or at least want to sound like they are carefully evaluating a candidate they only heard about in the last couple of weeks.
Thatās true.
People like my mother, who, when asked about Vance responds āIāve yet to read his worksā; when asked about Walz āoh you mean Tom Cilz, right?ā
Its the lead poisoning
