US Presidential Age at Inauguration by Year and Party
Created February 6 th , 2020. US Presidential age at inauguration (and 2020 hopefuls) by year and party. Trendline showing mean and standard errors by party. I graphed this in R using ggplot2. Posted below is my annotated R code, data file, and sources. Looking at just the years since the GOP founding (1854), 51% of the variance in the "age at inauguration" is accounted for by party, election year, and the interaction between year and party ( F (3,27) = 9.37, p 2 = .51).
