andrewduckerWe know that Republicans tend to skew older.
Does anyone know if they're getting even older on average or if people are becoming Republican as they age?
And, for instance, whether a chunk of the Democratic success in the election was because of demographic change over the last 4 years (although obviously many other factors are at work as well)?

Though maybe it'll kick at 67 when I pick up the state pension!
