North Dakota AARP poll of those 50 and over: Cramer 46 and Heitkamp 43

[Person Man]

AARP is one of the most Democratic organizations in the country.  I am not saying the poll is not legit. I hope you will forgive me for totally disregarding this poll.

They haven't been that wrong in the past.

A lot of the older population in ND are old-school, farming, WWC Dems. The younger  generation is Likely R due to the oil boom.

The last time the Democrats won North Dakota at the presidential level is 1964 (which itsel was the first time since 1936). I don't think there are much ancestral democrats roots there.

I think he is thinking of Southeastern SOUTH Dakota around Vermilion. That's pretty much the place in the Dakotas where you have Minnesota-style populists.

Does anyone know if there's an age group breakdown for ND for 2016 or any previous years anywhere?

I looked for exit polls for the Dakotas in recent elections. There are none. Though IIRC, Prop 6 in South Dakota flopped amongst the younger voters and was neck and neck with older ones. This was in 2006.
