Poll shows that Millennials would flock to Clinton against Trump

[WI_DEM]

WASHINGTON — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has expanded his double-digit lead among Millennials in the Democratic presidential race, but a new USA TODAY/Rock the Vote poll finds a way for Hillary Clinton to solve her generation gap: Donald Trump.

Opposition to Trump nearly unites the rising generation.

In a hypothetical Clinton v. Trump contest in November, voters under 35 would choose Clinton by a crushing 52%-19%, a preference that crosses demographic lines. Among whites, she'd be backed by nearly 2-1, 45%-26%. Among Hispanics, by more than 4-1, 61%-14%. Among Asian Americans, by 5-1, 60%-11%. Among African Americans, by 13-1, 67%-5%.

And the yawning gender gap she has against Sanders would vanish: Clinton would carry young men and women by almost identical margins of more than 2-1.

Nearly one in four Republicans would defect to the Democrats if the GOP nominated Trump against Clinton. Just 7% of Democrats would defect to the GOP.

4. by your own numbers, the yawning gender gap is the 29% who stay home.

5. Maybe true for the ones that do come out. I don't think there will be masses of them though.

Unless given a positive reason to come out, I don't see them doing so. It'll be more "meh" and whatev's.

They need inspirational reasons not fear based reasons to vote.

6. Maybe, just maybe, people do learn from History

7. I am glad to hear this.

As a Bernie supporter, I am somewhat disappointed, but staying at home in this election is just detrimental.

8. Oh? But I heard somewhere that Millennials don't vote.

And I sure don't see them turning out for "No We Can't" Hillary.

11. Water is wet as long as they are told it is wet. If they are told water is dry

well then it has always been dry. The very definition of a low information voter.
