Survey: Pennsylvania’s 50+ population could drive midterm turnout

An AARP survey shows candidates will need to focus on issues that matter to Pennsylvania voters age 50 and older ahead of the November midterms. The influential voting bloc makes up 55% of voters and they are extremely motivated to cast a ballot this year, pollsters said. Bill Johnston-Walsh, state director of AARP Pennsylvania, said voters 50+ cross party lines and geography but share a practical question: Which candidates will protect their financial security, health, independence and ability to care for loved ones? He added the survey asked Pennsylvanians which priorities matter most when deciding their vote this year. "The top three issues are the economy, which is cost of living, Social Security and healthcare costs. We have been hearing over and over again that these issues are still important," Johnston-Walsh reported. Johnston-Walsh added AARP hears every day from its 1.8 million members and their families about kitchen-table costs, including the rising cost of groceries, inflation, utility bills and gas prices. He recommended Pennsylvanians make a plan, learn the rules and deadlines, and understand what is on their ballot. Johnston-Walsh said older voters consistently participate at higher rates. He pointed out almost 60% of 50-plus registered voters cast a ballot
