Margaret Brennan: Americans, Regardless of Political Affiliation, Favor Maximum Age Limits for Elected Officials

EXCERPT:

BRENNAN: "We also surveyed Americans about another big issue in politics these days, age and the ability to serve effectively over the age of 75. More than three-quarters of Americans, no matter what their political affiliation is, favor maximum age limits for elected officials. Just over half say the job of president or senator is too demanding for someone over the age of 75, although more than a third of those surveyed said it depends. Although 68 percent of Americans say age brings experience, that is outweighed by the approximately 8 in 10 Americans who are concerned that elected officials might be out of touch or unable to do the job past the age of 75.”
