AnnotationAggregate national exit poll data from the 1996 presidential election suggests that voters aged 60 and over were not influenced by age-related policy issues such as Medicare, any more than younger voters were. This article analyses older people's voting behaviour, and speculates about the post-election outlook for Medicare, social security, and Medicaid.
