AARP North Carolina Survey finds Social Security and Medicare Transcend Party Lines
In today’s world of political division, one issue unifies voters of both parties – protecting our earned benefits by strengthening Social Security and Medicare. AARP North Carolina released a new voters’ survey that shows a significant majority of voters from both parties say that they are more likely to vote for a candidate who will protect Social Security (87%), strengthen Medicare (88%), lower drug costs (86%) and increase protections for nursing homes (81%).
The survey also found that voters age 65-plus are not a lock for either presidential candidate, with President Trump and former Vice President Biden locked at 48% each among voters of all ages. However, the numbers differ for older voters where former Vice President Joe Biden (52%) leads President Donald Trump (45%) among voters 65-plus. In the Senate race, Cal Cunningham (48%) leads Thom Tillis among voters 65-plus (41%).
What this indicates is that when it comes to winning over older voters who are the most active, candidates must talk about the issues that matter to voters 50 and over – like voting safely from home or in-person, preventing cuts to Social Security and Medicare and lowering prescription drug prices.
