Millennials Favor Hillary Clinton in Harvard Poll

[DemocratSinceBirth]

America’s young adults, who twice helped propel President Barack Obama to victory at the ballot box, are lining up to support Hillary Clinton in 2016.

A survey by Harvard University’s Institute of Politics shows that 55 percent of all young adults, ages 18 to 29, would rather see a Democrat maintain control of the White House after the next presidential election.

Clinton, 67, is likely to be among the oldest candidates in the race from either political party. Still, she's overwhelmingly favored among young adults who identified themselves as likely or potential Democratic primary voters, with 47 percent saying they plan to back the former secretary of state.

“She seems to have coalesced a broad range of support among young Democratic primary and caucus voters.”

1. But she's too old!!!

I know it's true because I read it here.

That's why all the millenials are going with Bernie Sanders.....

2. Someone please teach those millennials that non-Presidential elections are important too.

[onehandle]

58. I'm an older Millennial(34)

And I've voted in every Presidential and midterm election since 2000, and even some off-year local elections as well. I've tried to encourage others in my generation to vote but it seems they are apathetic. Not sure what to do to change that.

[FSogol]

59. It might sound like I'm picking on millenials, but you could make my same statement for

every generation. Only about half of Americans vote.

[Terra Alta]

61. This is true.

My best friend is a Boomer and voted for the first time in 2008(for Obama) after encouragement from me. I really wish people were more enthusiastic about voting.

[NCTraveler]

3. Her message is sound and she looks like she is really ready for the campaign.

More and more will support her as they hear her and see her energy and enthusiasm for the country moving forward.

4. Name recognition. That is all.

64. You take issue with The Very Sensible People?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

65. I take issue with people whose raison d'etre is to dehumanize, demoralize, and denigrate others...

[darkangel218]

19. +1

[AtomicKitten]

43. True, but that will dissipate in time.

And polling will become a more accurate snapshot.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

48. A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes

[AtomicKitten]

52. So you're saying name recognition is all she's got?

Okay.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

54. I didn't say that.

[Tarheel_Dem]

9. Well, the usuals have posited that "it's only name recognition", so it must be true, right?

I mean, they couldn't possibly be wrong, right?

[Cosmic Kitten]

14. Maybe we should take a poll? Yes, another poll!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. Thank you for your input./NT

[Tarheel_Dem]

20. Outside his club of fanbois, Bernie is just another in a long line of old dudes "yellin at clouds".

Sorry, but that's what I see when I hear Bernie ranting and raving, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

[Cosmic Kitten]

22. Thank you for your input

[Agschmid]

23. Y'all are so cordial today...

[Cosmic Kitten]

25. Maybe it's the kinder and gentler Centrism

[Agschmid]

27. Haha!

[Tarheel_Dem]

29. And right back at ya!

[Agschmid]

28. 3-4 Leave.

[George II]

33. It wasn't complimentary, but it should have been 7-0 to leave it. Someone who voted to hide it.....

........actually said it was GENDER biased!??? How so?

[Tarheel_Dem]

34. What? Someone from the Bernie camp was offended by that? I'm shocked! Shocked I say!

[sufrommich]

30. Bernie Sanders is a smart, articulate speaker.

What's the point of posts like this ? An old man yelling at clouds,ranting and raving? Really?

[Tarheel_Dem]

36. As I pointed out, it's what I see when I see Bernie on my teevee, besides I'll never forgive him...

for trying to recruit candidates to primary President Obama in his re-election campaign. Screw Bernie Sanders. Hope that doesn't offend anyone's delicate sensibilities. I am not a fan!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

38. Why did he want to primary Barack Obama?/NT

[Tarheel_Dem]

41. Who the hell knows? It's Bernie! He can't stand be out camera shot for more than a few seconds.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I agree with alerter. Post is over the top and gender biased.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: That you don't like a post doesn't make it trolling. Alerter, why don't you call the owner of the site a troll for having the gall to support Clinton? Of course you wont. That would take courage.

[BainsBane]

45. Juror 2 sure has a way with words.

[Go Vols]

21. When the article was written

there was only one Democratic candidate,its still good to see they aren't behind the R's tho.

[jwirr]

24. Poll is dated 4-29-2015. And does not say what they think of Bernie. I am glad to see that they

prefer a Democratic candidate over a R.

[hrmjustin]

32. Great news and it is more tgan name recognition.

[Cosmic Kitten]

39. You know this how?

Link to the poll results??

[DemocratSinceBirth]

[DemocratSinceBirth]

51. Possibly./NT

[Cosmic Kitten]

53. Where is the ACTUAL poll results?

That is an article which cites
some statistical percentage.

There is NO POLL RESULTS that demonstrate...

“She seems to have coalesced
a broad range of support among
young Democratic primary and caucus voters.”

John Della Volpe

As it stands, that is a baseless statement.

[hrmjustin]

55. The institutions who did the poll website is down.

I can't acces it either. I thought you meant the bloomberg site.

[HockeyMom]

57. They helped elect the first Black President

Maybe they, especially young WOMEN, want to elect the first female President, despite her age? Grandma figure?

[Terra Alta]

60. As long as my fellow Millennials

Prefer a Democrat to a Republican, and get off their tails and VOTE in the general election, I couldn't care less which Democrat they support in the primary.
