A new survey of older voters finds they are virtually unanimous in support of upholding Social Security’s promise of lifetime benefits.
In a survey of its members, AARP, Washington, found 95% said it’s important that a candidate pledge to protect Social Security as a guaranteed, life-long benefit, with similar support among Republicans (94%), Democrats (98%) and ticket-splitters (95%).
Among members surveyed, 97% also said Social Security is important for future generations.
