The current Congress is among the oldest in US history — a trend that is expected to accelerate, especially in the Senate. A majority of Americans see the size of the over-70 caucus as a major problem and want to see more transparency around elected officials’ health, according to a new CNN poll. Fifty-eight percent of Americans in the latest CNN poll, conducted by SSRS, say that the current share of elderly lawmakers serving in Congress poses a major problem. The CNN poll also finds a desire for greater transparency about elected officials’ health more broadly. The CNN poll finds that 70% of people who align with either major party say they’d be uneasy or upset if their party nominated someone over the age of 70 for office.
