Sanders Popularity With Older Voters Is Dropping


The Morning Consult Poll questions about 5,000 respondents each day. The chart above shows the favorability of candidate Bernie Sanders from December 30th through January 26th. It includes 17,836 Democratic primary voters, with a 1 point margin of error.

Sanders favorability among young voters has remained constant over that period (at 67%). But he is now losing significant support among older voters (65+). Staring with 48%, that support has declined to 35% -- a drop of 13 points in slightly less than a month.

That's not good for Sanders, since older voters are the most likely to vote in large numbers.
