A Gallup Poll found that 48 percent of people 65 and older identify themselves as being Republican or Republican-leaning.

Back in 2003, a similar poll found 45 percent leaned Republican -- while in 1993, only 39 percent had Republican leanings.

While seniors are leaning Republican, younger people are leaning Democratic.

46 precent of those between 50 and 64 identified with the Democratic party.
