WITH LESS THAN TWO WEEKS TO GO UNTIL ELECTION DAY, THE LATEST POLLING FROM
"A-A-R-P PENNSYLVANIA" FINDS THAT THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE REMAINS VERY CLOSE, AMONG OLDER VOTERS.
BILL JOHNSTON-WALSH IS THE GROUP'S STATE-DIRECTOR...
(JOHNSTON-WALSH):
"NEW POLLING FROM
'A-A-R-P' SHOWS [THAT] FORMER VICE-PRESIDENT BIDEN STILL HOLDS A SMALL LEAD OVER PRESIDENT TRUMP AMONG
'50-PLUS' VOTERS; HOWEVER, THAT LEAD IS MUCH LARGER AMONG VOTERS WHO ARE 65 OR OLDER.
PENNSYLVANIANS WHO ARE 50 OR OLDER REPRESENT OVER 60-PERCENT OF ALL VOTERS; SO,
IT'S CLEAR THAT '50-PLUS' PENNSYLVANIANS WILL PLAY A SIGNIFICANT ROLE, IN DETERMINING WHO WINS THE
COMMONWEALTH'S 20 ELECTORAL-VOTES. ONE THING THAT'S NOT IN DOUBT IS THAT OLDER VOTERS WILL TURN OUT FOR THIS ELECTION; THEY WANT THEIR VOICES
HEARD--AND THEY'LL FIND A WAY TO VOTE SAFELY. WE ALSO FOUND THAT OVER 60-PERCENT OF
PENNSYLVANIA'S '50-PLUS' VOTERS PLAN TO CAST BALLOTS IN-PERSON ON ELECTION
DAY--WHILE ALMOST 15-PERCENT HAVE ALREADY VOTED BY MAIL-IN BALLOT. THE RESEARCH SHOWS [THAT] 60-PERCENT OF
'50-PLUS' ADULTS ARE ALSO WORRIED NOW ABOUT GETTING CORONAVIRUS; THAT'S UP FROM ABOUT 55-PERCENT IN EARLY SEPTEMBER."
