We can break down the electorate by age similarly. Among young voters, Obama won a sizable 60 percent of the vote, with a solid majority in nearly all states included in the exit polls. In contrast, Romney won a solid 56 percent among senior citizens, with a strong showing in the red states (including two-thirds of elderly Arizonans), but with a sizable majority supporting the president in blue states like New York and Massachusetts.
Similar patterns show up if you break up the state-by-state vote by sex or race.
