NEW YORK CITY (PIX11) – New York’s 12th Congressional District could be decided by voters over 50, and they’re going with Micah Lasher, according to a new poll from AARP.
In a new poll with Siena College Research Institute, AARP found state Assemblymember Micah Lasher leading the pack with 32% of voters over 50. It’s notable, considering voters over 50 historically make up more than 70% of voter turnout in congressional primaries, according to an AARP study.
