Seniors Have Turned Against Trump
Trump beat Hillary Clinton by eight points with seniors (53%-45%) in 2016, which was lower than seniors support of Romney over Obama in 2012 (56%-44%). Trump’s support with seniors has totally flipped. It has gone from 52% support to 53% definitely not voting for him in 2020

If Trump Loses Seniors, He Loses The White House
Republicans have intentionally focused their voter suppression efforts on younger people and minorities because those are the two growing groups of voters who tend to vote Democratic. The Republican Party has gone older, whiter, and more rural under Trump. Republicans need seniors to win. If voters over age 65 support Trump in smaller numbers, Republicans will lose the White House, the Senate, and Democrats will keep the House.
There is plenty of time for these numbers to shift, but if Democrats nominate a candidate who seniors feel comfortable with, Donald Trump could be headed for a historic defeat in 2020

we sure can hope so......😎

1. Boy, does this hearten me, though it does not surprise me that once bamboozled, the elderly would

be largely able to see through his corruption/antics/antidemocratic stances.

[Iamaartist]

2. I knew they would..hopefully wont shift.....👴🦳

I knew they would...hopefully it wont shift....

[Sunlei]

7. now(R)ussian "hackers" will change more voter registrations to help Rs disinfranchise.

[Iamaartist]

13. Agree.,,,only way GOP knows how to win is to cheat....

[Sunlei]

46. disenfranchise people by 'ruining' their voter registration by the thousands.

I think that's why Russian hackers were in many states voter information. Most info is public information anyone can view it. Entire data bases (not public) with millions of voters were left insecure and accessed by the hacker groups. That's in the report.

Clinton won by 3 million votes. The actual 'cheating' happened in the hundreds of districts where just a couple thousand fraud ballots to a spoiler, ballots thrown away because president vote "left blank" and/or disenfranchised votes.

[Iamaartist]

14. oops

[DownriverDem]

20. Those still with trump

are very nasty and hateful.

[hlthe2b]

21. not simply the OLDER Trump voters...

[Iamaartist]

28. No words for Trump....I agree ,,,got to be stupid

I live in Western Michigan...many here....

[smirkymonkey]

3. K&R

[Iamaartist]

16. K&R

[lindysalsagal]

4. And that might just be Biden. I'm not talking policy, numbers.

So, this is not my attempt at persuading anyone for him. But the seniors may deliver him the nomination. We'll see.

[Iamaartist]

18. They might,,must watch our elections...in 2020

[Iamaartist]

29. We can hope so,,,

[Sunlei]

5. Its trumps attacks on healthcare-thats why Republican party told him to shut-up

Republican party will still try to wreck Americans access to medical care and affordable medicines- but they're not going to let Trump speak about it.

[Joe941]

6. 2020 will be the landslide 2016 should have been.

[Iamaartist]

22. Agree....

I don't know how anybody can vote for Trump his unfit to be a president...not mine …..madman

[11 Bravo]

35. If it's all the same to you, I'd prefer to treat it like a razor thin nail-biter of a contest.

I still can't believe how wrong (and complacent) we were in 2016.

[Joe941]

42. Don't say stuff like that. Russia hack the win to tRump...

We weren't wrong at all!

[watoos]

8. I don't believe in any polls,

pro or con, they are tools of propaganda.

[MineralMan]

9. That's good news.

[Iamaartist]

23. Thank-you ........K&R

[Tiggeroshii]

10. Republicans are gradually turning their efforts to all groups

Attempting to no longer allow most or preferably all people to be able to vote, with the chance they could lose an election. Just look at Texas' new potential voter suppression laws.

[Iamaartist]

34. I am in Michigan..

Had the same problem here in 2016....I hope not this time around....

[Karadeniz]

11. Oldies but goldies. Proud of them!

[titanicdave]

12. .....Being a senior....

.....myself, I can say with all honesty.....I NEVER SUPPORTED t-RUMP......I voted for Hillary....and would do so again today, for sure...

[Iamaartist]

26. I did to voted for Hillary and Obama

I still think today she still hurt over it.....hate Trump....

[calimary]

31. So did I. And whether she's still hurt or not, I definitely still am!

It hurts every day. Especially when I remember how many more votes she got than he got.

[beachbum bob]

15. Focus on trump/GOP efforts to sack SS and Medicare

Az, Florida and Texas comes into play

[IronLionZion]

17. Retirees often like to have safe interest income and this administration is pressuring the Fed

to keep rates low in spite of low unemployment and high stock prices. This is a very bad sign for educated older Americans who have experienced recessions in the past. The next recession will be very bad since the Fed will have limited ability to stimulate the economy through low rates.

Maybe seniors are worried about what Trump would do to Social Security and Medicare or how his economic/trade policies will ruin their retirement savings.

We can't always believe polls after last time since we got big surprises with Trump and Brexit.

[Stuart G]

19. K AND R thank you for posting....no text

[llmart]

24. I can't understand why any senior would vote for the GOP of today...

knowing that they want to gut Social Security and Medicare. It boggles my mind.

[marieo1]

25. boggles my mind, too

It boggles my mind, too. DJT is such a despicable human being, I just don't understand why the republicans in congress would not kick his butt to the curb. I am democrat but I have never in my lifetime been so disgusted with the republicans.

[duforsure]

27. Why would any senior vote for trump

He lies all the time, especially about supporting Medicaid , Medicare, and Social Security, and he and the gop have done everything they could to destroy it, and all health care. They raise their taxes, defund their health care , and take away their safety nets in their retirement, so why would any senior be for doing that to themselves now? He also is a corrupt criminal who is robbing us blind now, while we're paying more in taxes and he's driving the deficit much higher, which we will be stuck paying for that too.

[riversedge]

45. And the old we get, the more set in our ways we get. I think there is a lot of truth in that old

saying. Afraid of change fits in with this.

[Hoyt]

30. Seniors who voted for trump 2016 will do it again once he cranks up his immigrant hatred and racism.

[empedocles]

36. Did trump ever stop, or even slow down with the immigrant rhatred and racism.

[BlueJac]

32. I will believe it when it happens, not before!

We can only hope people come to their senses.

[Recursion]

33. McConnell can't shut up about Medicare and Social Security. Thank God

Seniors notice when people talk like McConnell has been.

[uponit7771]

37. K&R, Team Trump / Russia will make sure that number is 3% by time 2020 comes.

[Lifelong Protester]

38. As a Senior, I can say

I never was supporter of "him". K & R

[FakeNoose]

40. Right - same here

This is about seniors (65+) who voted for Chump in 2016, and will NOT vote for him again.

They can just stay home and not vote, or they can come out and vote for the "good guys." We'll see what they decide to do next year. I think a lot of senior citizens watch Faux Snooze 24/7 and they don't get to hear the truth much. Hopefully that will be changing soon.

[Lifelong Protester]

41. How can anyone watch

Faux Snooze as much as people do?

[empedocles]

39. Seniors more likely to follow the MSM news, than young 'uns.

[dustyscamp]

43. Some of those Seniors will probably stay at home and won't vote for either party

[ooky]

44. Trump promised seniors he would protect Social Security and Medicare

and has done neither. And their prescription drug costs he promised to lower are higher than ever.

Further, seniors are watching while Trump's incompetent policies are destroying the futures of their children and grandchildren. They are watching in horror as a presidency unfolds into a dictatorship that they never imagined they would see in their lifetimes, an evil, dishonest dictator sitting in our White House.
