Biden woos senior voters amid signs they're turning on Trump
By Julia Manchester - 10/13/20 08:11 PM EDT
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is seeking to appeal to senior voters amid signs the traditionally conservative voting bloc is turning on President Trump just weeks out from the general election.
A CNN poll released last week showed Biden with a 21-point lead among voters aged 65 years or older, while a separate Wall Street Journal-NBC News poll showed Biden with a 27-point lead among the group.
Separate polls also show Biden closing the gap with Trump among seniors in Florida and Arizona, two swing states that could decide the election in November.
A poll from the University of North Florida’s Public Opinion Research Lab released earlier this month showed Trump leading Biden 50 percent to 47 percent among voters older than 65, a drastic change from Trump’s 14-point lead among the group in 2016.
Biden’s push to court seniors in Florida was on full display on Tuesday when he laid out his plan for older Americans in the Miami suburb of Pembroke Pines.
