Age and Presidents in Modern Elections
Age has not been a major voter factor in presidential elections, with voters focusing more on the individual and how he comes across. Historically, presidents ranged from 43 to 68 at entry, and while age is considered, the decisive factors remain health, vigor, and perceived ability to address national mood.
