How did the historic 2008 Democratic landslide turn into the historic Republican landslide of 2010?
Younger and minority voters stayed home while seniors became a much larger part of the electorate. As the first baby boomers turned 65 in 2010, seniors voted Republican by a 21-point margin. A clear majority of 58 percent supported the GOP in the midterms, a ten point increase from the presidential election just two years earlier.
Are the nation’s most reliable voters about to switch again?
