Missouri Exit Poll data: Sanders gets 68% of under 45; Biden gets 71% of 45 and older...

Guess who showed up to vote.....

Under 45: 30%
45 and over: 70%

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Under 45 and 45+. Forget about the more narrow 18-29.

Hillary won 18-44 big, and lost 45+ by about 8 points. If Biden can make inroads among that 45+ group and specifically 45-64, then the 18-44 crowd will take care of itself to the point youth turnout won't really matter.

The 65+ crowd is going to move more in our direction anyway due to Silent Generation mortality since 2016. But that 45-64 group is beyond pivotal. Biden needs messaging toward that group. Get Bloomberg and his focus groups to work on that with targeted commercials.
