I would assume mostly pre-boomers, at least early on in that period. When Reagan was elected, the youngest boomers weren't old enough to vote. And most of the rest were in the age range that everyone complains has had low turnout in elections for several generations at least. Boomers certainly had a big impact on elections by the '90s, but I don't think they were dominant during the Reagan era in the US.
