简介：Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern greets young admirers in his home state at an airport rally in Sioux Falls, S.D., in 1972. Many baby boomers voted for McGovern in their first election, against Republican candidate Richard Nixon. In 2008, boomers narrowly backed President Barack Obama, but they swung over to Republicans in 2010.

"Oh, that's a struggle. I mean, the whole college education cost is a whole 'nother topic. I mean that's, along with health care, a really hot topic for me." And she's there for her elderly mother, as well. "You know, I will watch what she does. She doesn't have a lot of money. She has to be really careful - very careful. So I have to watch what she does and if she needs money, yes, I would chip in." Romano said she voted for President Obama and thinks he deserves a second term, even though she's frustrated by the state of the economy. The Pew study shows that older boomers, like Romano, tend to vote more Democratic, younger boomers more Republican. As a group, more than half of all baby boomers today say government should be smaller. There's a clear trend in that direction. But Pew's Doherty adds that it's still not quite cut and dried. "They favor the Republicans on some key issues. You know, notably things like the deficit. But they favor the Democrats on Social Security. So they're kind of conflicted at this point, a year ahead of the election." As a result, the baby boomer remains very much a swing segment of the electorate. But there has been one constant for this iconic generation, going back to the time of Watergate and Vietnam. They expressed a deep lack of trust in government back then and that lack of trust persists today.
