Trump In Big Trouble Amid Struggles with Seniors
May 12, 2020 at 12:30 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
Kristen Soltis Anderson: For the last decade, I have been one of the loudest voices preaching that Republicans are in trouble with this massive cohort of younger voters, that policy positions on both cultural and economic issues have increasingly put the GOP out of step with the millennial generation. Many of these trends have continued with the emergence of Generation Z, which tends to share many of the political views of its elder brothers and sisters, with a dash of heightened worry about climate change and emphasis on gender, racial, and gay and transgender equality.
I am here to tell Republicans that while their struggle with younger voters still remains a critical long-term challenge, an even graver short-term threat has emerged: declining support among seniors.

OP
If Trump is losing support from his top demo, why are his overall approval numbers still the same?

Hopefully they are finally seeing the writing on the wall about COVID-19 - republicans don't care that seniors and people with pre-exiting condition are more vulnerable. Actually republicans don't care if they die because everyone dies.

They are ready and willing to die for their cult leader and if they can piss of the libs with their last breath, they will die with a smile on their face.
I say this because I WILL vote knowing being forced to do so in person will probably kill me (high risk) but that I will die with a smile on MY face knowing that bastard is going down.
This country IS at war and this is what the front line looks like.

Is he picking up support from other age groups?
