Fifty-nine percent of Republican voters would prefer a president under the age of 75, according to a YouGov poll.

In a YouGov poll conducted between July 25-29, 59 percent of Republicans surveyed said they would prefer a president under the age of 75. Trump celebrated his 78th birthday in June. Forty percent said they had no preference, and just two percent said they would prefer a president over the age of 75.

    Well of course most people would want the candidate to be younger. I’m sure even the candidates wish they were younger. (I wouldn’t mind being younger myself.) That’s not the same thing as preferring to replace the current candidate with a different, young candidate.

      Isn’t preferring a younger president suggesting you want a younger candidate?

        Sorry, I rephrased my post a bit. What I meant is that there’s a difference between saying “it would be better if Trump were younger” and “Trump should be replaced by someone who is younger”.
