Generation Gap

[Joshuatree]

From the Rasmussen Reports site:

While many pundits have obsessed about the gender gap, a bigger emerging story may revolve around the generation gap. The gender gap is a stable feature of the political landscape and appears little different this year from other years. The generation gap is huge and appears to be growing much bigger than in either 2008 or 2010.

Voters under 30 are once again poised to go heavily for Obama. He leads by 35 among those younger voters, very similar to his 34-point margin in 2008. For Obama and the Democrats, that’s a better result among young voters than they managed in 2010.

Among seniors, however, Romney leads by 21 points. That matches the Republican edge among seniors in 2010 rather than the margins from 2008. Four years ago, Republican candidate John McCain won seniors only by eight points.

So Obama’s margin among the youth may be similar to results from 2008, while the GOP advantage among seniors is more like the results from 2010. It is perhaps no coincidence that seniors favor repeal of the president’s health care law more strongly than any other age group. Younger voters tend to favor the law and oppose repeal.

Isn't it a fact of life that the older you get, the wiser you become... Anyway... This present young generation seems to be very liberal.
