(FORESHAW-ROUSE):
"A NEW POLL, FROM
'POLITICO' AND 'A-A-R-P', FINDS THAT ISSUES RELATING TO HEALTHCARE AND PERSONAL-FINANCE WILL BE TOP-OF-MIND, FOR PENNSYLVANIA-VOTERS AGE-50 OR OLDER.
IN FACT, 97-PERCENT CONSIDER HEALTHCARE TO BE A CRITICAL ISSUE, IN DETERMINING HOW
THEY'LL VOTE IN NOVEMBER. SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE WERE JUST ABOUT AS
IMPORTANT--SCORING 96- AND 95-PERCENT, RESPECTIVELY. ALSO, A STRONG MAJORITY OF RESPONDENTS WANT ELECTED-OFFICIALS TO TAKE ACTION, TO LOWER HEALTHCARE- AND PRESCRIPTION-DRUG-COSTS.
IF CANDIDATES WANT TO WIN ON 'ELECTION DAY', THEY'LL NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE MOST-POWERFUL VOTING-GROUP IN THE NATION: VOTERS OVER 50.
