FiveThirtyEight: “In national head-to-head polls conducted since April 1, Trump is barely breaking even with most older Americans — and in some age groups, he’s even trailing Biden by as much as 1.4 points (see 45- to 64-year-olds).”
“The most startling shift, though, is among voters age 65 and older. Four years ago, Trump bested Hillary Clinton by 13 points, 55% to 42%… But now Biden narrowly leads Trump 48% to 47%, based on an average of 48 national polls that included that age group. If those figures hold until November, they would represent a seismic shift in the voting behavior of America’s oldest voters.”
Matthew Yglesias: “Some evidence here that ‘let grandma die’ is not a very persuasive message to America’s older voters.”
