Millenials are feeling the Bern!!

Link here



Our informal poll indicated it last month, and now it's official: Millennial voters are feeling the Bern. Sanders has the support of 35% of Millennials who plan to vote and Hillary is in second place. No other candidate thus far comes close to either of the two Democrats.



Bernie Sanders has an equal number of male and female Millennials supporters. Meanwhile, while Millennial females are more likely to say they'll be voting for Hillary, her lead is likely not as high has her campaign would like.



Bernie has 34% male and female supporters, while Hillary has 23% women and 17% men.



When we look at current Millennial voter preferences broken down by ethnicity, Bernie is still the clear winner amongst Caucasian, Black, and Hispanic young voters


Bernie has 33% Caucasian, 42% Black and 37% Hispanic among Millennials, while Hillary has 17% Caucasian, 29% Black and 16% Hispanic among Millennials.

2. It needs to be told far and wide. The media narrative is that Bernie does not appeal to black voters

That may be somewhat true to an extent with older black voters, but I can tell you as an AA millennial (32yo) that me and my circle of friends overwhelmingly support Bernie. I can only guess how many polls significantly underrepresent black millennials in their methodology.

pollsters! They wouldn't dare poll you and your circle if friends. They wouldn't get the results they're after! It's all so corrupt. We NEED Bernie so he can clean up the filth that is Washington D.C. and the MSM.

The corrupt pollsters avoid polling Millennials altogether because they KNOW your generation overwhelmingly supports Bernie. My son is also a Millennial, he's 22, and he, his girlfriend and everyone he knows at his University supports Bernie. If all of you were polled, DWS and her corrupt DNC would have a stroke because Hillary is not going to win.

FOUR people living in my home, 3 baby boomers and one of the Greatest Generation WW II VET, all support Bernie. I'm not seeing how Hillary could possibly win.

Again, thank you for starting the thread. Like you said, we need to spread this far and wide!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

and people who had given up on elections until Bernie came along will be crushed. There probably wont be a sizeable youth voter turnout for a long time.

Could have made a difference in all the down ticket races in 16 and 18 and beyond. This is why the party is almost dead.
