Pollster Frank Luntz Says Iowa GOP Caucus Voters Are So Old, Their Average Age Is ‘Deceased’

Republican pollster and focus group guru Frank Luntz weighed in on the upcoming Iowa Republican caucuses on Monday and had a unique way of describing the average participant.

Appearing on Friday’s Your World on Fox News, Luntz discussed the subzero temperatures expected on caucus day and how they might impact turnout.

“What impact would it have on certain voting groups – young, old?” host Neil Cavuto asked. “These questions always come up.”

“There are two groups that are impacted when it’s gonna be this cold,” Luntz replied. “Young voters, 18 to 29-year-olds, are less likely to vote in inclement weather. Their turnout is always suspect. And in a Republican event, the average age of a caucus voter, frankly, is deceased. Now, the other group that is affected by it are those over age 70 – people who would vote if it was more conducive to getting outside.”

He went on to note that winters in Iowa are always brutal and voters are “used to this.”

“And so, I would still expect a good caucus turnout,” he added.

Former President Donald Trump leads by a wide margin in Iowa ahead of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, who are essentially jockeying for second place in the state. Haley has surged in the polls in New Hampshire, though Trump still leads there.

Cavuto noted that Iowa has not exactly been a bellwether in recent contested GOP caucuses, as the winners in 2008, 2012, and 2016 all failed to win the Republican nomination.

“You are correct,” Luntz said. “Iowa makes a statement. New Hampshire makes a difference.”
