"Boomers seem very resistant to understanding that the living standards"....

201. Most of the Genx's in Ohio I know are Republicans...where as the older and younger voter are not.

I would say given Trump's abject failure on Covid, some may have crossed over in 20 but may not again with a different candidate than Trump.

Let’s stipulate that generational divisions are somewhat arbitrary and artificial, and that they track imperfectly with the age divisions favored by most pollsters. Generation X consists of Americans born between 1965 and 1980, which means that we’re currently in our 40s and early 50s, and pollsters prefer to poll the 45-64-year-old cohort, where President Trump’s clearest strength now lies.

Still, pollsters who track the generations show Xers as more Republican than other groups. In the Morning Consult survey, for instance, Joe Biden has led consistently with baby boomers since the spring, while Generation X is the only generation with whom Trump occasionally pulls into a tie.

Given that most people’s conservatism modestly increases as they age, this trend is probably a prologue, and Gen X conservatives will increasingly become the bulwark of Republican support — and the party’s leaders, whether in the form of Nikki Haley or Josh Hawley or Donald Trump Jr., Generation Xers all.
