New polling shows Kamala Harris leads Donald Trump with women over the age of 50 by more than any presidential candidate since 2016.
The survey shows that 54% of women in that demographic plan to vote for the vice president, over just 42% for Trump.
It's a huge improvement from Joe Biden, who only led Trump by three points with women over 50 in January.
The numbers are also better than Hillary Clinton's numbers in 2016, who polled 48%-40% over Trump.
AARP, who conducted the survey, believes that women over 50 can potentially sway the election.
'Our polling over the years has shown them to be a key swing voting bloc,' said AARP Executive Vice President Nancy LeaMond.
In the same survey, Democrats led Republicans 51%-42% on votes for who should control Congress.
Overwhelmingly, women over 50 say that the economy and affordability are their biggest issue.
Only a third of those surveyed say the economy is working well for them on a personal level, with 62% saying it isn't.
Another 41% of older women have confidence that in one year, they will be financially better off, as opposed to 49% saying they're not confident of that.
Cost of living is the most important issue to 46% of those surveyed, with immigration in second at 30%, followed by threats to democracy at 20%.
'Older women are … a big group that is very motivated to vote,' added LeaMond.
'Our polling over the years has shown them to be a key swing voting bloc.'
Trump on Friday dismissed polls showing him faring badly with women voters, calling them 'nonsense' and declaring that 'women love me' - except, he said, for one thing.

AARP? About as unbiased as they come. /s
AARP? Worth nothing.
I expected her lead to be in dead voters
Poll is total nonsense if that's true.
The stuff I get in the mail from AARP is too stiff ...
Kamala “Karen” Harris.
Its a difference of 12 points I wouldn’t call that huge..unfortunately if you ask a woman why she is voting for Harris they all say the same thing, abortion..the dem party is a death cult, its baby murder and thats it..they dont care if they get mugged, raped, murdered, they dont care, all they care about is murdering the unborn, to the day of delivery
Yes, I was going to guess the deceased. 😏
I’m sure it is but it looks like she has a leg up with the almost dead voters too, if you can actually believe anything you read.
No one should vote for kamala!
She is not only too stupid to be President, but she is too stupid to work at McDonald’s!
I thought it was going to be hyper-intersectional marginalized lesbian gender-fluid vegan cat-owning racially oppressed trans women. No doubt she has that group all sewn up.
Well, that confirms it, minnowpaws is fatal to brain cells.
Daily Mail and AARP, this is not scrapping the bottom of the barrel, this is punching the bottom out, good grief. LOL
Childless women with cats.
Do men who like unprotected sex without responsibility support women in the abortion issue?
What’s their take on Men voters?-)
Both legs up, in some cases.
Our next door neighbor for the past 4.5 years, aged 65 now, is a hardcore lefty. they had out Biden/Harris signs in 2020, and most of their other signs are for the most lefty of available candidates.
Twice in the past we have received her mail from Planned Parenthood. Someone well past the point of getting pregnant is still obsessing about abortion. Anyway, she isn't a gain because she was for Biden/Harris in 2020.
