AARP released data from a 2024 voter survey on Wednesday, which shows that among voters aged 50 and above in Arizona, Donald Trump is ahead of President Joe Biden by 9 percentage points.
According to the survey, Trump emerged as the winner with 52% of the votes, while the current President secured only 43%. However, interestingly, both candidates are neck-and-neck in terms of support among female voters in the same age bracket.
According to Bob Ward, a partner at Fabrizio Ward who conducted a poll with Impact Research, the majority of voters in Arizona will be those aged 50 and above. The survey results indicate that 55% of voters fall in this age group, which is consistent with last year’s figures.
The majority of the Arizona electorate is made up of an outsized voter bloc, which will undoubtedly play a crucial role in determining the winner of the battleground state.
The survey revealed that voters aged 50 and above were primarily concerned about immigration, the economy, inflation, and social security.
According to Ward, three out of four older voters in Arizona consider social security to be a crucial issue. Surprisingly, despite this, Trump seems to be winning their votes. Ward, who has been in politics for a long time, believes that social security is typically viewed as a Democratic issue, rather than a Republican one. She emphasizes that this fact should serve as a significant warning to the Biden campaign.

According to the survey, a significant number of voters aged 50 and above, approximately 22%, are not committed to voting for their party’s entire ticket. This indicates that there is a considerable population of individuals who can be swayed to vote for a different party or candidate.
According to Ward, a significant portion of the largest electorate group is willing to consider candidates from both Republican and Democrat parties, or they may be undecided about one race while having made a decision about another. He stated that this group is receptive to hearing the candidates’ message, which is an important factor to consider.
