newsweek.com

In a YouGov poll conducted between July 25-29, 59 percent of Republicans surveyed said they would prefer a president under the age of 75. Trump celebrated his 78th birthday in June. Forty percent said they had no preference, and just two percent said they would prefer a president over the age of 75.

I imagine it’s like those people Jordan Klepper interviews at Trump rallies that go like this:

Jordan: Do you think a candidate who’s almost 80 is too old?

Person: Yeah.

J: …and Trump is 78.

Person: Yeah.

J: So he’s too old and someone younger would be better.

Person: For sure.

J: So who do you want for president?

Person: I’m voting Trump.
