(Bob Hague, WRN) A recent AARP poll finds that preserving Social Security is a top-of-mind issue for older voters in Wisconsin.

Lisa Lamkins is with AARP Wisconsin, “Eighty-four percent of Wisconsin voters 50 plus say they'd be more willing to vote for a candidate for Senate who would protect Social Security from cuts."

"We know that candidates are talking about Social Security. So I think it's just important to keep that in mind and to make sure that that candidates are addressing those issues that older voters care about.”

“There is strong support for Social Security . . . from Republicans Democrats and independents.” Lamkin says inflation was top concern for older voters, not surprising since most are living on fixed incomes.
