Seniors Could Be the Swing Vote in 2014

Democracy Corps: “Seniors broke heavily for Republicans in 2010, and they are a disproportionate voice in off-year elections.  In the Republican battleground, the vote is tied among seniors and the Democratic candidate has gained 5 points among this group since June.  In the Democratic battleground, Democratic incumbents lead by 14 points (51% to 37%) among seniors.  This trend has also emerged in the last three national Democracy Corps surveys – which is a sea change.”
