News summary

A recent AARP poll reveals a tight race in Wisconsin among older voters, with Vice President Kamala Harris holding a slim overall lead over former President Donald Trump (48% to 45%), while Trump edges out Harris slightly among voters aged 50 and older (50% to 47%). The survey indicates a significant increase in motivation to vote among older voters, with 90% expressing high motivation, which is crucial considering this group is the largest voting bloc. In the U.S. Senate race, incumbent Democrat Tammy Baldwin trails Republican Eric Hovde by 1 point overall among older voters, with Hovde leading significantly among those aged 50 to 64. Key issues for older voters include Social Security, Medicare, and prescription drug costs, which candidates are advised to prioritize. The findings suggest that the outcomes in both races may hinge on candidates' ability to resonate with the concerns of voters aged 50 and older, who are crucial for electoral success. The poll was conducted from September 11-14, following a presidential debate between Harris and Trump, and highlights a shift in voter sentiment since earlier this summer.
