From 2016:

"Polling so far suggests that the 2016 candidates’ popularity (or lack thereof) isn’t a huge surprise in terms of these age trends. Voters age 65 and over are the group most likely to vote for Republican nominee Donald Trump; those age 18 to 34 are the least likely to vote for him.

Don’t forget though, correlation doesn’t mean causality – the reasons why older voters lean Republican isn’t necessarily their age per se. Older Americans are more likely to be white and they’re also more likely to be religious (Protestant or Catholic in particular) – and both of those demographic groups also tend to vote Republican for reasons that are quite separate from pension plans.

It’s also a mistake to treat such a loose group as “the oldest voters” as a single unit. Research from Pew Research Center has found that baby boomers (those age 50 to 68) are less likely to identify with the label Republican than the uncomfortably titled silent generation (who are age 69 to 86)."

So, somewhat accurate to think the older population would likely vote for Trump. But also could be a way to reduce costs. Anyone know where to find data on the socio-economic status of these nursing home people or even CCP virus deaths in general? I think their monetary situation might be more to blame for deaths than most realize. Just a hunch at this point, though.
