Study Finds Boomers Are Republicans, Engaged Voters

A recent survey from Pew Research Center found that voters between age 50 and 64 are more likely to favor Republicans in the mid-term election. When asked which candidate in their districts they were likely to support, 52 percent of boomers said they would support the Republican candidate. Forty-one percent said they would support the Democrat.

Those percentages are identical to voters 65 and older who say they are more likely to support the Republican candidate than the Democrat. Those between 30 and 49 are more evenly split; 45 percent say they would support the Republican, while 43 percent say they would support the Democrat.
