Voters over 70 are backing Harris over Trump, 51 to 48 percent, Emerson College poll finds
A new poll shows some baby boomers and members of the Silent Generation are switching allegiances from former President Donald Trump to Vice President Kamala Harris.
The Emerson College poll released Thursday shows voters over 70 backing Harris over Trump 51 to 48 percent. That’s a small but positive shift for Harris, as last month, 50 percent of the group supported Trump while 48 percent backed President Joe Biden, who dropped out of the race and endorsed Harris last month.
The group includes some baby boomers, who were born between 1946 and 1964, and the Silent Generation, born between 1925 and 1945.
This comment is proof a certain segment of liberals just can’t be happy.
“just Medicare expansion and lowering prescription drug costs” Just?! Oh you mean just two issues which voters have been demanding for over 2 decades? Just what democrats have tried to accomplish forever but Republicans have blocked?
Political parties are capable of having and achieving multiple policy goals at once. Jesus christ.
yes a certain segment of people want living wages and healthcare for all and a plan to take care of this planet we live on and to stop killing other people on this earth
not liberal ideas fucking common sense
Me: hey, some sorely needed common sense reforms got passed. Rural hospitals in a majority of states have the desperately needed federal funds to stay open and people are less likely to die because they cant afford their life saving medicines, great right?
You: fucking idiot, not every problem on the planet has been solved! How dare you celebrate solving just one problem we’ve been fighting for a generation to get fixed!
have you seen how these policies play out on the ground or do you wake up and drive to work and the grocery and home maybe a park
shit is not better because Democrats got voted in and we should demand more out of our leaders
work a job that has me in multiple states and the issues the politicians from both sides are claiming to be worked on are in piss poor shape
you want to talk about rural hospitals needing funds to stay open then lets talk about the policies and actions that got us here
both parties for decades have sold out the citizens to be underpaid, sick, undereducated, malnourished on bullshit food, and just basically left to suffer so their stocks and payouts can increase
Democrats just have a better costume
You sound more like an agitator trying to sow resentment than someone who actually believes in liberal values.
Shitting on anything except a magical savior that waves a wand and makes the world anew is a delusion, not politics.
Look at their post history. The smart money is on paid agitator.
There is a group that masquerades as “leftist” but they don’t actually believe in any leftist ideals. The only thing they care about is “Democrats bad”, and they want to see Democrats fail. Everything else is secondary. They’d rather see Trump win so they can say “I told you so” instead of seeing things get even a little bit better.
You call a Republican majority in the House “Democrats voted in”? Do you call a 50-50 split Senate with Manchin to be “Democrats voted in”? How about we give them enough people in Congress to accomplish big things before throwing up our hands in exasperation that they didn’t accomplish enough. They need enough of a majority in the House and Senate that one or two rogue Democrats trying to make a name for themselves can’t derail anything and everything they want.
Democrats have had majority before and never upped the minimum wage sufficiently, citizens never got universal healthcare, workers never got better rights, never codified Roe v. Wade, and all the other things Democrats say they are about to the public
Okay, what happened the last time the Democratic Party had a filibuster-proof majority? Did they sit on their hands and do nothing, or did they pass the largest healthcare overhaul ever with 4 months of control?
Which party blocked the votes on all those other policies you love to point to? Oh, it’s that party you seem to have no interest in removing? How weird.
Get off of that Hasan Piker juice.
Living wages, healthcare for all, AND climate change are also part of the Harris Walz platform
