"SNIP......

Trump won seniors with 52% of the vote in 2016, but Joe Biden now gets 57% of the support of voters over the age of 65.

Ryan Struyk pointed to the shift in the new CNN poll:

2,457 people are talking about this

Seniors are vulnerable both economically and medically due to Trump’s failed response to the coronavirus. Seniors are facing increased economic pressure and added expense while living on a fixed income due to Trump’s virus response. A person on a fixed income can’t easily afford the additional expense of paying for grocery or prescription delivery.

1. When somebody is trying to kill you, they probably won't get your vote.

[RKP5637]

2. Older people are not stupid, just sometimes misinformed and too trusting IMO.

tRump, spun all of the talking points people wanted to hear, such a con artist and bullshitter laced with lies and some religion thrown in.

[malaise]

6. Not only that - it is clear that he doesn't care if they die

That was and is the last straw for them

[Mariana]

10. The ones who voted for Trump are pretty fucking stupid. nt.

[RKP5637]

17. Especially those that still cling to him now in the tRump cult. It's a total WTF. He would

kill them all if necessary for his reelection, and they still don't have a clue. I have absolutely no sympathy for them.

[BigmanPigman]

24. "With age comes wisdom" doesn't seem to apply to

the seniors in his cult. They are willfully ignorant and have been for a long time.

[abqtommy]

3. IMO 22% isn't enough. We need more of a drop than that and to me it just shows that the

idiotology is strong... It's no reason to quit fighting though...

[standingtall]

9. If there is a 22 point drop among Seniors for Trump on election day

Then Biden will win a landslide. Not only would he win all the States Hilary won plus Wisconsin,Michigan and Pennsylvania, but he would probably win Georgia,Florida and Texas too and maybe even a State or two no one saw coming.

[abqtommy]

19. I have nothing against a landslide but I still stand by my previous comment.

"What's wrong with these people?" movie Cookie's Fortune

[NewJeffCT]

21. With those numbers, Trump is basically toast

over 65 people vote.

He won the 45-64 crowd in 2016 as well, while Clinton won big with the lower turnout under 30 and 30-45 crowds.

If that lead holds up, Biden would probably win the general election by 13-17 points overall, if not more.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

29. Yes, it means nothing unless Democrats get out the vote Nov. Cal-25 on Tuesday is wakeup call. nt

[Cha]

4. I can't imagine WHY!

[Hassler]

5. When POUTS, the Conniver-in-Chief wants you to die

So he can steal another election, you tend to want him gone.

[Cicada]

7. On you tube comments Trumpsters tell me I'm old and expendable for restart

Today when I complained that a too early restart might kill me I was told that it sounds like I have one foot in the grave already so the loss is not so big

Senior citizens need to know that it’s crazy to vote Republican this year because Republicans are literally trying to kill us

Ok I’m selfish. I don’t want to die. I admit it.

[BGBD]

8. other numbers don't really matter

if this stays the same. Trump isn't going to win the election if Biden wins among Seniors.

[Mariana]

13. Exactly. Trump could not have won in 2016 without the seniors.

If he doesn't get the majority of them again in 2020, he's gone.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

30. Only if Democratic workers get out the vote in Nov., be it mail-in or in person. . . nt

[LanternWaste]

33. No one here is, or has been arguing otherwise

The choir knows this song. Maybe better than your good self.

You may as well lecture us to breathe air.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

34. Give it a rest and catch your breath. Then go see CA-25. . . nt

[brewens]

11. You'd think the FOX "News" ratings would be going down too. I looked but only saw where

they were good in the first quarter. That's not surprising. It will be interesting to see second quarter. Those people can't be going with Joe and still watching that crap. It has to leave a mark.

[MoonlitKnight]

22. Yes, this will be a confirming indicator

Otherwise I still have doubts.

[coti]

12. This is why it was important to not nominate a "scary" or dislikeable candidate nt

[LakeArenal]

14. Apparently, old people like living.

[0rganism]

23. how could anyone have known?

it's rigged! rigged, i tell you!

[BootinUp]

15. Guess they're not ready to die for him. Nt

[Hermit-The-Prog]

16. trumPutin will call for more human sacrifices to fix this.

The Gruesome Oligarchs Party will happily call for more "warriors" to die for their god, Greed, and expect it to rouse the MAGAts to their rescue at the polls.

[Vogon_Glory]

18. It looks like reality is beginning to penetrate

some seniors’ bubbles. It’s not only time but past time for some of these guys to notice.

I just hope they stay connected to the real world through November and afterwards,

[Scurrilous]

20. K&R

[Joinfortmill]

25. This is why Biden knew he could beat Trump. SENIORS like him, even the idiots who voted for Trump

[Buckeye_Democrat]

26. And unlike so many young folk, this demographic votes!

[applegrove]

27. If they can vote by mail. Trust me, the GOP has already run the numbers

on whether or not they can suppress the waking senior vote for Biden by not allowing voting by mail.

[iluvtennis]

28. trump & his minions also suggested that older people just die to save the economy. Heartless

GOP and the orange shithole doesn't care about seniors. So glad the seniors re waking up.

[Sugarcoated]

31. Plus

He's threatening to mess with Social Security again

[warmfeet]

32. I tend to not vote for those

that wish to kill me.

Odd that!
