What is driving older voters to the polls?
Oct. 9
Dana Marie Kennedy, Director for AARP Arizona, and Nancy LeaMond, Executive Vice President and Chief Advocacy and Engagement Officer at AARP, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss a recent AARP survey about what is driving 50+ voters to the polls.
Several past elections have been decided by voters over the age of 50. In 2020 and 2022, they made up 55% and 65% of the electorate, respectively. Battleground state polls today show older voters are more motivated than younger voters.
According to the polls, voters’ top issues are immigration and border security, inflation and rising prices, the economy, reproductive issues and threats to democracy.
