Donald Trump is losing the support of older voters, according to a new poll.

In March, the former president won enough primary races to secure the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential election. He will face the incumbent President Joe Biden in November and polls have so far shown that the results of the 2020 White House rematch will be tight, with the pair statistically tied or holding only marginal leads in a number of surveys.

However, a new Marist poll in the key swing state Pennsylvania has shown that Biden is narrowing the gap between himself and Trump in this state among the older demographic, a key demographic of voters. Due to the U.S's Electoral College system, which awards each state a certain number of electoral votes based on population, state polls are more reliable in determining the result of the election.

The poll of 1,181 people found that, of voters over the age of 45, 48 percent said they support Trump while 45 percent said they support Biden.

Ten/fifteen years ago I offered the left on PA a deal:
They could keep every dime I'd put in Social Security and I'd never ask for it back nor another nickel from the program. In exchange, my SS rate would be slashed and I'd get to keep what my employer would have been asked to contribute on my behalf.

No takers.

Welp. Now I'm in my 50's and there will be no deal. I expect to be paid 100% (actually, it'll be more!) of what I put in. Gen Z can work their rear ends to fund all the golf I'm going to be playing.
