Heading into midterms, Republicans hold edge with older voters, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
The Reuters/Ipsos poll shows 46% of voters aged 50 and older favor Republicans, highlighting their stronger turnout and differing issue priorities ahead of the 2024 midterms.
- On Monday, the Reuters/Ipsos poll found 46% of U.S. voters aged 50 and older planned to vote Republican, versus 38% for Democrats, surveying 4,434 adults nationwide.
- Poll breakdown shows older Americans prioritise democratic values and immigration more than younger voters, while older voters were less likely to cite cost of living, making their turnout especially consequential next year.
- Report breakdown showed 60% of older voters strongly agree they would regret not voting in next year's congressional elections, compared with 40% of younger voters, with a ~3-point margin of error for younger voters.
- Democratic strategists say the Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Democrats face a challenge, as they need a net gain of three House seats and four Senate seats to reclaim control.
- Given older voters' larger share in midterms, voters over 50 comprised 60% of the 2022 midterm electorate versus 56% last year, and the Republican shift contrasts December 2021 pre-midterm polling at 43% to 42%.
