A recent New York Times poll found that 59% of those aged 45 to 64 plan on voting for Republicans in this coming midterm election.
Republicans also have an advantage among likely voters – they hold a 49%-45% lead in the poll.

Gen X was the generation to:
Be the last one to live with the threat of nuclear war hanging in the background
Remember the age of Reagan, and the prosperity and opportunity it created
Anti-establishment, but not in a fake 1960s hippie fashion
Were educated before 'wokeness' became a required university course
Sort of get screwed by the excesses of Boomers (like the Clintons) and the cluelessness of the Millenials, but still had the induviduality to persevere
Become somewhat innoculated to propaganda because of inundations of advertising (I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV)
To be there with the growth of the internet and see its potential beyond pr0n and narcissistic Tik Tok videos
Actually had to use books instead of Wikipedia to do research
Grow up playing outside without their noses buried in their phones.
May be some of the reasons.
Do they all then collectively stop shouting “THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE”?
Rage on baby! Let me feel your rage. Oh yea....
Xers realize that they will have to accept a lower standard of living with the Dem policies. They wanted it all and they wanted it now but with the “progressive” ideology, they will own nothing and be happy.
Many voters are just too scared to admit it to a pollster.
HAHAHAHA! I love it! Despite all of the corrupt teachers who indoctrinate their students instead of teaching them the basic R’s, the red pill is a universal cure. This shift will be generational.
I am so glad I am part of this generation. The young people are almost all infected with the woke virus and many Boomers are infected with the “I am getting a huge increase in my SS benefits and cheap insulin!” virus.
Once people start to work, pay taxes and take on the responsibility of families and aging parents, they tend to wake up. Of course most of the next generations have no intention of growing up, so they just resort to tantrums and name calling...like the spoiled Peter Pans they are.
If you are not a liberal at twenty, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative at forty, you have no brain.
Winston Churchill
As one in the middle of that generation - It may be that the GenX liberals were just foolish and young and not leftist, but they were not irrationally angry when us conservatives and libertarians disagreed with their foolishness. They grew up and saw what left leaining philosophy led to and are getting red pilled.
The Democratic Party is corrupt, it corrupts the country, and it must be massively defeated.
Yeah—I’m with you
My dad is part of the silent generation, and while my mom and her older brother (Irish twins) are boomers, they are extremely early boomers. Mom especially could pass for a member of the silent generation.
My inlaws are/were boomers. Not exactly my cup of tea, and I wouldn’t want to be married to one.
I believe I read somewhere that Gen X included a very large percentage of entrepreneurs compared to other generations.
we remember Reagan, and wont be fooled by Democrats/Socialists trying to resurrect the evil empire from the ash heap of history.
Well, I will be happy to be reclassified as GenX vs Boomer, but I thought GenX started with birth in 1965? I was born in 1962 but I am between 45 and 64 as of today.
That’s correct, in large part we Gen X-ers parents were part of the Silent Generation who raised by the Greatest Generation who lived through the Depression.
Our parents weren’t giving us everything, you had to go out and earn it, even as a kid - I had my first job at 10 or 11.
Republicans aren’t the reason Deep State has to steal elections.
MAGA red Donald Dem DINOs are.
I can sympathize with that.
