Both the under 40 figure and the over 65 figure are notable here. Voters under 40 going D+23 should not surprise anyone following me on Twitter. But, as @murphymike has noted often, the over-65 crowd only breaking R+3 is maybe even a bigger deal here. (H/t @dellavolpe for chart)

(6,095 posts)A number of recent polls are showing the Repubs losing their advantage among seniors (over 65). I see several related trends contributing to this. First, Boomers are an increasing percentage of seniors. The generational boundary that was once at age 30 is now around 72.
The second factor is the growing gender divide by party is amplified among seniors. Women are increasingly Democratic and they greatly outlive me.

Whites_____________ 44__________________ 50
Men (overall)_________43__________________50
White no college degree 36__________________60
And the problem is that the latter group (white no college degree) are situated in the South, Midwest and rural counties everywhere, where they are easy pickings for talk radio, Trump and Fox News.
Bottom line is that the Democratic Party should take the House and make it close in the Senate.
BUT, if not for this last group-- Democrats could actually have a blowout election with a 100 seat majority and a clear Senate majority.
