I doubt that Obama will win the over 55 vote like this poll is showing.
If even remotely true, the SS Obama has tipped vertical.
I don’t believe for one moment that the “over 65” group is voting for Obama.
What a travesty it will be if the ‘greatest generation’ ends up plunging us toward fascism. Positive thoughts, this is all spin, they would never do that!!!

Are seniors falling for the same old “Republicans want to end social security” fear mongering again?
There’s a whole lot of intelligent people among the younger generation...
:)
How can older people be so dumb? Most live on fixed income and any tax increase (capital gains) will kill them. And you would think given the scandal surrounding Hussein’s campaign and the moral decay generally surrounding the left they would be more likely to support a family values Republican.
He lives a block off University ave.
His neighborhood is all students and not 1 Obama sticker.
We walked a block to eat dinner and on University ave again I look as our table faced the main drive in Gainesville and McCain stickers out numbered the Obama 10-1 that drove by.
Huh? This makes no sense. No WAY over-65 voters are going for Obama. It’d be nice if the youth were shifting to McCain, but I question it.
I know several lifelong democrats over 65. Not a single one is voting for Obama. Some are staying home and some are voting Mccain.

Didn’t Morris just say yesterday that Obama was scaring old people because they were afraid of adding additional people to the healthcare roles because would prevent them from getting into see a physician, yada, yada, yada.
Morris is the person in James 2 (all the pollsters are, they say one thing one day and another thing the next): A double minded man, unstable in all his ways,like a wave driven by the wind and tossed.
They play the electorate like a cheap fiddle. Somebody, in the end will be right, somebody will be wrong. Obama will either be elected, or McCain will. But trying to cover all the bases so they don’t lose their reputations in the end, make pollsters ranking in my book a little lower than used car salesmen. I do not believe the electorate is as fickle as the polls make them seem (that doesn’t mean I don’t think that they have it wrong just because Obama is ahead, if McCain was ahead, but the numbers were changing like this I’d say the same thing.)
I’m a McCain voter and I can believer over 65 are voting for Obama. Stands to reason. Over 65 are drawing out of their retirement plans, many of which were tied up in the Stock Market which lost $3 Trillion in value. It doesn’t hurt younger voters as much because they have a chance to recover those losses if they don’t withdraw from their 401K’s or IRA’s (for early retirees) who are still working. A lot of over 65 voters, because of this, are angry that their retirements are dwindling faster now. For those over 65, that are not big losers in the Market (who don’t have IRA’s or Mutual Funds), bring in less so they stand to receive a check under BHO’s plan since they make less than (in most cases) I’ll estimate about $40-50K. Problem is, I don’t believer BHO will deliver on those promises, no DEM ever has in the last few presidencies.
That is good news, but Obama is dominating the senior citizen vote, very scary if correct since McCain can’t win with numbers like that. That just seems not realistic to me, though. I think seniors are more split.
“Republicans will take away your Social Security!”
“Things cost more than they use too!”
Scary stories for seniors on this Halloween day.
Sometimes I think seniors are the “most selfish generation”.
Thank SNL and Sarah! 0bama in jeans looks like Urkel. Young adults (the thinking ones, anyway) don’t want to vote for “Did I do that” Urkel. They’ll vote for their grandfather and their mom first.
No way is he dominating the seniors, in Florida they are 3 to 1 in the news for McCain!
I’m 67 and so is Mrs. Taxman.
No one asked us who we were voting for, and had they done so, we’d say John McCain and Sarah Palin!
NObama/NObiden votes in this house!
Can’t see seniors voting for NObama — of all age groups, seniors should recognize how utterly ill-prepared, ill-equipped and ill-qualified NObama is to be President.
His, truly, is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury and signifying nothing.
I guess the Dems have gone into the 'scare the old folks' mode in their ads. Those of you whose elderly parents are still alive, and vote, PLEASE call them and remind them that it's the Dems who always block reforms to the Soc. Security system, and that it also their benefits, not just those of younger folks who will be entering the system later, that will be in danger, if it isn't fixed.
