It may be true, Older voters, including older Trump voters, are getting pissed off with Trump.

Older voters, older people believe in listening to doctors, they trust their doctors. They don't like it when Trump attacks doctors, calls them stupid or liars. They believe Trump should be listening to the doctors. They see what Trump is doing.

Primary care Doctors that many elderly have been seeing for decades, in some cases. If trump really thinks he can attack those MD's then, it is really over for trump.

"herd immunity" - "survival of the fittest" - "only the strong shall survive". Those that are older, pre-existing condition, disabilities, low immune system will be the ones who will not survive. As republicans spout, everyone dies.

I truly believe in a democracy no matter what religion you belong too, we take care of people no matter what. Republicans do not see it that way. Republicans also believe it is the poor's fault for their situation and in general people who need help financially, i.e. - SNAP, Medicare, Medicaid, welfare, living assistance, etc. (they are moochers and lazy).

Vote them out.

Trump won by only 77k votes in 3 states to take the electoral College. That isn’t very many votes in swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin cumulatively. Since his inauguration, I have read and seen video of people regretting that they voted for Trump or didn’t vote at all.
What I have not read or seen is voters that have changed for Trump that he didn’t get previously. In 3 1/2 years a story everyday about Trump regret and fatigue but no story about him winning new converts nor independent voters leaning Trump this election.
No doubt that he keeps his base but that is only 35% of likely voters. I believe that he has lost much more than those 77,000 in those 3 states.
