According to the latest AARP voter survey data released on Wednesday, Donald Trump is currently ahead of President Joe Biden by 9 percentage points among voters aged 50 and above in Arizona.
According to the survey, Trump has a lead over the President with 52% of the votes compared to the President’s 43%. However, the results show that both candidates are almost equal in terms of support from women voters in the same age group.
According to Bob Ward, a partner at Fabrizio Ward who conducted a poll in conjunction with Impact Research, the majority of voters in Arizona will be those aged 50 and above. As per their survey, this demographic will make up 55% of the voters, which is consistent with the numbers from the previous year.
The majority of the Arizona electorate is comprised of this significant voter bloc, which holds immense power in deciding the outcome of the battleground state.
The survey revealed that voters aged 50 and above ranked immigration, the economy, inflation, and social security as their top concerns.
According to Ward, three out of four older voters in Arizona who consider social security as a crucial matter are in favor of Trump. As someone who has been in the political arena for quite some time, Ward believes that social security is generally associated with the Democratic Party, rather than the Republican Party. She mentioned that this fact should serve as a significant wake-up call to the Biden campaign.

Steven is in search of a candidate who possesses the ability to restore Democracy.

According to the survey, 22% of voters aged 50 and above are open to voting for candidates outside of their party line. This indicates that there is a significant number of individuals who can be swayed to support a different political stance.
According to Ward, a significant portion of the electorate remains open to hearing candidates’ messages, even if they may have not yet decided on which party to support or which specific race to vote for. “It’s not uncommon for people to be undecided or considering candidates from both parties,” Ward stated. This suggests that there is still room for candidates to make an impact on potential voters and sway them towards their platform.
