Poll: Older voters bail on Ron DeSantis, who trails Chris Christie with senior citizens

The latest national survey of the Republican presidential race shows definite attrition for Ron DeSantis among voters his age and older.

The 45-year-old Governor of Florida struggles with middle-aged and senior citizen Republican voters, with 6% support among those between the ages of 45 and 64 and just 4% support among those 65 and up, according to the latest New York Times survey released this week.

The 4% showing with senior citizens is especially glaring, putting him in fourth place with that venerable cohort, behind Donald Trump (64%), Nikki Haley (17%) and Chris Christie (6%).
