Voters over 70 are backing Harris over Trump, 51 to 48 percent, Emerson College poll finds

A new poll shows some baby boomers and members of the Silent Generation are switching allegiances from former PresidentĀ Donald Trump to Vice PresidentĀ Kamala Harris.

The Emerson College poll released ThursdayĀ  shows voters over 70 backing Harris over Trump 51 to 48 percent. Thatā€™s a small but positive shift for Harris, as last month, 50 percent of the group supported Trump while 48 percent backed PresidentĀ Joe Biden, who dropped out of the race and endorsed Harris last month.

The group includes some babyĀ boomers, who were born between 1946 and 1964, and the Silent Generation, born between 1925 and 1945.
