He is part of an age group that is statistically more ideologically progressive. I am pointing out his age because we aren't talking about a 60 year old person where, statistically speaking, is more conservative. 

This was mentioned in a link before but I was curious about your feelings here so I took a screenshot of the graph. Seems like this dude's age group is most likely to be moderate or conservative. Does this change your analysis?

Based on your graph, lets assume the following:

All conservatives (29%) vote for Trump and all liberals (25%) vote for the liberal candidate. Well the obvious follow-up question is: How are moderates defined in American politics? 

Do moderate Americans typically vote for a Trump-like candidate or a Obama/Hillary/Bernie/Biden candidate?

That answer would either support my assertion or indicate that what I said was wrong. To answer that question, we could only pull the data from ~2015 - present since that's when this MAGA movement began. My assumption is that Gallup provided additional questions that could help us determine how moderates align to various political issues. Were some of those questions provided alongside this graph?
