These age groups represent the core RP supporters.

Then you have the baby boomers and seniors:
Registered voters 45-54 yr old - 29+ million
Registered voters 55 and over - 48+ million
And these groups vote at a higher percentage.

Thanks for the info DC. Although it is simplistic, it is an interesting table. I wonder out of the posted numbers, how many actually vote too. I would love to see a comprehensive spreadsheet complete with breakout with a ton of cool voting info like, region, race, income, gender, political leanings etc. Nice find DC. Do they have any more recent info too?

Quick question: how do you know what the age group is for Ron Paul supporters? Do you know what it is for the other candidates? I think it would be interesting to see the comparisons.
