Now, according to separate report in Politico Trump, in early voting, is seen to be dropping behind among seniors.
Politico reported, "It's a warning sign for the former president that reflects early vote data and polling across the battlegrounds, after Republicans won the senior vote in each of the last five presidential elections. In Pennsylvania, where voters over the age of 65 have cast nearly half of the early ballots, registered Democrats account for about 58 percent of votes cast by seniors, compared to 35 percent for Republicans."
The report added, "That's despite both parties having roughly equal numbers of registered voters aged 65 and older."
For Democrats, this turnout among Pennsylvania seniors is "an unexpected reason for optimism," according to the report.

"According to modeling data shared by a Democratic campaign operative tracking early voting, across the Blue Wall states, Democratic voters over the age of 65 are running 10 to 20 percent ahead of their Republican counterparts with respect to registered turnout," Politico noted.
"And the same Democratic modeling shows Black voters over the age of 65 — and in particular older Black women, a core Democratic bloc — are returning ballots at a higher rate than any other demographic group."
