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 an 8 year term, combined with a race with no incumbent/former president, I think that’d be an open race.
