NextGen Climate...: Early Vote Exit Poll of Battleground Millennials...Strong Clinton Support

NextGen Climate Celebrates National Early Vote Day: Releases Early Vote Exit Poll of Battleground Millennials Showing Strong Clinton Support

SAN FRANCISCO–(ENEWSPF)–November 1, 2016. NextGen Climate today released an early vote exit poll of millennial voters in battleground states to mark National Early Vote Day. The poll shows that millennials who have voted early strongly favor immediate action on climate change, overwhelmingly see Hillary Clinton as the candidate best able to deal with the climate crisis, and are voting for Clinton by margins that exceed President Obama’s 2012 margins among young voters. With only seven days left before Election Day, NextGen Climate is continuing to engage and turnout millennial voters with fun and creative events at the polls.

The new poll, conducted by Global Strategy Group, finds that Clinton has a 31-point lead over Donald Trump among millennials who have voted early in battleground states (60-29). Clinton’s lead among voters aged 18-29 is 29 points–exceeding President Obama’s national margin among this age group in 2012. The poll also shows Clinton crushing Trump among millennials of color (+66 points) and among women (+41 points). Clinton even leads Trump by 17 points among white millennials–a group Obama lost in 2012.

Efforts throughout the fall by the Clinton campaign and groups like NextGen Climate to talk to young voters about the differences between Clinton and Trump on climate change have paid off–78 percent of millennial voters view climate change as an issue that we must address now, and 60 percent say Clinton would do a better job of dealing with the climate crisis than Trump, while only 14 percent think Trump would best handle the issue. The NextGen Climate poll of millennials who have already voted confirms that Clinton has already amassed a large advantage in the vote share with this critical segment of the electorate before Election Day.

The telephone survey polled millennials aged 18-34 who have already voted in the presidential election in nine key battleground states–Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, North Carolina, Nevada, Ohio and Wisconsin–drawing proportionally from the nine states based on voter file counts of millennial voters who have cast ballots. - eNewsPF

Keep getting to the polls in those states before election day. Early voting is where we win this!
