A new survey is finding that the only group voting Republican by a majority are those 65 and older.
The survey by AP Votecast, reported by The Wall Street Journal, found that 49 percent of voters 65 and older voted Republican this election cycle, compared to 48 percent who voted Democrat. Those 65 and older accounted for 26 percent of total voters in the survey.
The survey was conducted before the election and on Election Day, surveying those who said they intended to vote or had done so.
A majority of those in all other age groups voted Democrat.
Forty-nine percent of those ages 50 to 64 voted Democrat, compared to 46 percent who voted Republican, amounting to a total of 30 percent of the vote.

(14,725 posts)old folks. They remember what their parents went through during the depression and will stick to the Dems until they die. We have few if any young people at our meetings. Those who are younger are usually people with health problems who know that the GOP does not work for them.
