2004 Election Map For 65+ Only

Inspired by a post I made about Midwestern voters and the GOP, I decided to look back at the 2004 exit polls for only voters 65 and older in each state ... the results were pretty interesting:

Thoughts??

Virginia seems wrong. Olds in NOVA were strongly Republican in my experience, and I don't think there were enough ancestral Democrats across the state to give Kerry the edge with them. Montana is also surprising, although I guess there were still a fair amount of New Deal Dems left there.

Also, why don't they do exit polls for every state anymore?

I was surprised by both of those states, as well.  FWIW, Bush won "60 and older" 56%-44% but lost "65 and older" barely 49%-51% ... might have been a fluke, but it'd suggest that 60-65 year olds were STRONGLY Republican while the oldest were slightly more Democratic.
