About seven in ten are very concerned about the federal budget deficit.
About seven in ten oppose raising the debt limit if it means there will be cuts to Social Security and Medicare for current beneficiaries.
Residents of Congressional Districts 20, 24 and 25 over the age of 50 believe seniors should not pay higher Medicare costs or be forced into nursing homes in order to reduce the deficit.
About three-quarters say they are less likely to reelect their member of Congress if they support a proposal that requires seniors to pay higher Medicare premiums or pay higher out of pocket costs for Medicare services.
Three-quarters say they are less likely to reelect their member of Congress if they support cutting Social Security benefits to help reduce the deficit.
More than three-quarters oppose legislation that could result in cuts to services that help older Americans and people with disabilities remain in their own homes rather than go into a nursing home.
