Young voters have overwhelmingly backed Bernie Sanders throughout the Democratic primary, leading to endless speculation that Hillary Clinton will face a big "millennial problem" come November.

A new poll out today, however, suggests that Clinton would do more than just fine with young people in a general election. Clinton leads Donald Trump by a whopping 36 points among people ages 18 to 29, according to a Harvard Institute of Politics study released on Monday.

1. She really didn't have a millennial problem against Sanders - sure, most favored him but...

.....they never went out to vote. One can't win elections with all one's voters staying home.

It's called GOTV and grassroots, not big rallies of non-voters.

2. Don't tell the millennials who post here.

[Major Hogwash]

9. Hahaha!!!!!!!!!

No kidding.

[msongs]

3. oddly enough the sanders support on DU is not typical of the sanders supporters off DU nt

[Chicago1980]

5. You mean they tend to be a bit nuttier over here.

And if that's not what you mean, that's what I'm saying.

[JohnnyRingo]

23. I've noticed that

I have a number of friends who support Sanders and we feel on the same side. There's no animosity at all. Some mention they can't stand or don't trust Hillary, but none of them say she's a shill for the right wing.

4. Breaking POLL: Sanders African American problem disappears with Trump!

6. Link please...

7. But he can't seem to make his "delegate problem" disappear, so the GE is moot.

[PatrynXX]

8. Neither can she

keeps limping along. if she limps along I don't quite understand how she wins later on. More than just Democrats vote in these General Elections you know. I still see this going to June. True I don't see him winning but he'll be too close to give up and there's no reason for him and his supporters to give up. Gotta fight the 1 % and keep fighting for years if it has to be. If not now mayb 4 yrs from now.

10. It's very hard for someone who comes in second in a primary to carry the enthusiasm

forward after the general election, but I hope Sanders supporters don't give up if Sanders does not win the primary. I hope they really build a grass roots coalition to elect people at the local, county, and state level. I think that is where the Democratic party needs a revolution because if Dems can take back more of those levels, it will be easier to enact reform.

The reason I say they is because I have tried to remain neutral during the primaries so that it will be easier for me to support whichever Democrat wins. To me, either Hillary or Bernie is infinitely better than any of the 3 Republicans running for President.

11. Close? She's leading him by nearly 800 delegates right now. She can lose all the upcoming....

contests, and still win the nomination. That's the beauty of proportional delegation. BS got blown out tonight, I don't think she's the one who's "limping". Winning small homogenous states does not a GE candidate make. Those states look nothing like the Democratic party, and Democrats are making their choice known. Did you see the results in MD? B-L-O-W O-U-T!!!!!!!!!!!

[litlbilly]

15. adding sd's? give me a fucking break

[Tarheel_Dem]

16. You'll have to quibble with BS' top, overpaid campaign advisor about SD's, since he's the architect.

[pnwmom]

19. She doesn't have a delegate problem. She's at least 300 pledged delegates ahead of him now. nt

[dembotoz]

12. you guys can giggle all you want. enthusiasm for hrc does not exist in my state

[Tarheel_Dem]

13. It doesn't seem to be open displays of "enthusiasm" that's winning these contests. As Hillary said

"Bernie gets the crowds, and I get the votes". FACT!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

18. What happens if they're like her Facebook followers?

[Rincewind]

22. The state of Denial?

[LenaBaby61]

14. SO HAPPY ...

To hear this great news.

Donald Trump is such a loathsome, bigoted and divisive person who really doesn't deserve to be in the White House.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

17. This poll was done before she told them to pound sand.

[Tarheel_Dem]

20. It'll be okay. Those Libertarians & Greens were never gonna vote for her anyway, but the Obama.....

coalition will have her back.
