Donald Trump could face a revolt from senior voters on November 3. It will come down to a place called The Villages

Among nearly 700 holes of golf, 60,000 golf carts and 12 country clubs, more than 130,000 people live what appears to be a very pleasant existence.

There are three town squares, cinemas and Sunday sessions at RJ Gator's.

Pastel-coloured homes and moss-covered oak trees line neat cul-de-sacs, while golf carts with "for sale" signs are parked on the lawn.

This is The Villages — a sprawling haven for retirees and a big part of why so many move to Florida. And for the past four years, this has been a Trump stronghold.

But as the 2020 campaigns turn towards the finish line, The Villages is quickly becoming the subject of intense political analysis.

The local Republican and Democrat leaders are being contacted daily by US and international media and are very aware of just how many eyes are on them.

Both Mr Trump and Joe Biden have both been campaigning in Florida recently, trying to shore up the seniors vote, but it may not be an easy task for the President.

As COVID-19 continues to spread across the US and the economy remains suspended by uncertainty, several national polls indicate a collapse in support for Mr Trump among senior voters.

This group was a massive help to Mr Trump in 2016, so recent polls that say he's now losing older voters by more than 20 percentage points are a heavy blow to his re-election hopes.

Mr Trump didn't help matters last week when he tweeted a photo of his political opponent, which appeared to mock older Americans.

It was considered an astonishing move given his sliding support among that very group.

The Villages Overview

The Villages community in Florida is one of the largest age-restricted active adult communities in the state - as well as the world. What started as a small neighborhood in 1978 became a sprawling community that will eventually be home to an estimated 70,000 households of 55+ residents.

The Villages® community in Florida spans three counties, three zip codes, and over 20,000 acres. The entire community is connected by over 100 miles of golf cart legal streets and trails.

This 55+ community is an entirely self-sustaining town complete with retail establishments, restaurants, banks, post offices, healthcare centers, and countless recreational amenities.

Residents of The Villages, known as Villagers, have flocked to the community from multiple states and several countries.

The community has drawn retirees from around the world with the lure of warm weather, quality ranch homes, and ample opportunities for golf.

This community in Central Florida has appealed to homebuyers because it offers an extremely active lifestyle as there is a 50-page newsletter and activity guide each week, which highlights all of the various clubs, activities, and events available.
