Republicans have carried voters over 65 in every presidential election since 2000, but a new poll shows Harris with the advantage.

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!

    Yeah, you may be right. We’ve had, what, almost a decade of candidate/president Trump now? Even the most successful TV shows in history are pretty much out of gas by this point, there’s just not really anything left to say that hasn’t already been said. Even Fox news shakes up its talking heads every now and then, and it has the advantage of being “news” (massive sarcasm quotes there). Trump isn’t bringing anything new to the table, it’s the same old dog and pony show, and the tricks have gone stale. Makes sense.
