Joe Biden’s purported weakness with younger voters isn’t borne out by March trial heat poll data, as I showed in my previous RealClearPolitics column. But Biden still may have a generation problem -- not with Generation Y or Z, but with Generation X.
In most recent polls, Biden bests Donald Trump with voters under 40 as well as those 65 and over, but not in between. For example, in the March ABC/Washington Post poll, Biden wins with seniors by 15 percentage points, but loses 40-somethings by 17 points. Monmouth University tracks voter preference for those 55 and over, and between 35 and 54;

I don't believe any of these polls. If they were correct Hillary would be president now.

Maybe it's that my generation has seen our grandparents and parents succumb to dementia and Alzheimer's and we see the writing on the wall for Biden. Picking an obviously mentally deficient sick old man for president at this time would be national suicide.

Can't believe any poll that shows Trump losing to Biden. Not in any state, not in any age bracket. Sorry, polls are used to push an agenda, that's it.

He has a problem with his boss, ex president Obama who won't endorse hi. He has a son with ex wives, ex sister in laws, ex strippers cum baby mama, andex criminal employers hanging around his neck. As an ex Senator he has a documented record of wrong positions on almost every issue, and a creep factor that's off the charts. Yeah... he has a problem with exes.

Is Generation X a new way of saying dementia and compulsive lying?
If so, then Yeah,

Biden "bests" voters over 40 and 65. Is that months or years?

Quite a large percentage of the GenX bunch are a total bunch of whiners. Complaining about how the older folks have screwed things up for them, yet they cannot get up off the sofa/chair in front of their tv/computer to roll up their sleeves to do anything about it. If you all are bored, try googling the top 25/50 contributions that Boomers have made to the world. You would be shocked at how much we have contributed. Meanwhile, try the same for the GenX crowd. Not only will you find zero accomplishments, but the only thing they contribute is cynicism and being a parasite.

Not sure about that #2, but it does say a lot about the entire Democrat party who rallied behind Biden, despite knowing his condition.
Believe Obama told him something to the effect of "you don't have to do this".

#10, you are correct. The Baby Boomers have contributed greatly to the world with many tremendous accomplishments including, abortion on demand, radical feminism, destruction of the nuclear family through divorce, globalism, and social engineering through public education... just to name a few.

My thinking is that those of us who are conservatives regardless of generation might want to hang together... or Hillary will damn sure make us hang alone.

Gen X is currently moving their parents into memory care. We don't care if it's dementia, Alzheimers or something else, we see Joe Biden and we know that things ain't right.

#10 if boomers didn’t kill half my generation (gen x) through abortion and contracepted the hell out of themselves, further reducing their family size we would have enough numbers to actually do something about the mess you made. What we are doing is raising our kids right (gen z) so that hopefully they can help fix this mess. Every single person I know in my generation are hardworking people who rarely complain. We just roll up our sleeves and do what needs to be done. You reaped all the benefits there was to get and screwed the rest of us in the process. My husband and I will never see our social security despite having paid for yours. Take a hard look at what your generation did, including failed parenting, before criticizing anyone else!
