Republican pollster Frank Luntz mentioned Friday on Fox Information Channel’s “Your World” that Iowa Republican caucuses voters common age is “deceased.”
Anchor Neil Cavuto requested, “We make a bid deal concerning the climate. I feel you’ve got identified up to now it snows there this time of the yr. They’re used to it. We usually trying at it and get all frazzled about it. What influence wouldn’t it have on sure voting teams, younger previous? These questions at all times come up.”
Luntz mentioned, “There are two teams which are impacted when it’s going to be this chilly. Younger voters, 18 to 29-year-olds, are much less more likely to vote in inclement climate. Their turnout is at all times suspect. And in a Republican occasion, the typical age of a caucus voter, frankly, is deceased.”
He added, “Now, the opposite group that’s affected by it are these over age 70 – individuals who would vote if it was extra conducive to getting outdoors. However in the long run, you may make excuses for it, and that’s all they’re, there are excuses. Iowa is use to this, they’ve snowstorms each third day in the winter. They know what to anticipate. And so, I’d nonetheless count on a superb caucus turnout.”
