Vote share in presidential elections among voters aged 60 or older
Presidential elections since 1972
A line chart in blue and red shows the vote share in presidential elections among voters aged 60 or older since the 1972 election. Older voters voted more for Republicans between 1972 and 1988 before switching to Democrats through the 2000 election. From 2004 onwards, older voters voted more for Republicans, but a new NYT/Siena poll projects more older voters voting for Biden than for Trump in the 2024 election.
