In a YouGov poll conducted between July 25-29, 59 percent of Republicans surveyed said they would prefer a president under the age of 75. Trump celebrated his 78th birthday in June. Forty percent said they had no preference, and just two percent said they would prefer a president over the age of 75.
I imagine it’s like those people Jordan Klepper interviews at Trump rallies that go like this:
Jordan: Do you think a candidate who’s almost 80 is too old?
Person: Yeah.
J: …and Trump is 78.
Person: Yeah.
J: So he’s too old and someone younger would be better.
Person: For sure.
J: So who do you want for president?
Person: I’m voting Trump.
