[Rose Siding]

Hillary Clinton holds 36-ppt lead over Donald Trump, 61% vs 25%, with 14% undecided, in Harvard Institute of Politics poll surveying 18-29 yr olds.

More than 60% surveyed want Democratic president in 2016 vs 33% for Republican vs a year ago, when figures were 55% Democrat preference vs 40% Republican

Poll conducted March 18-April 3 for 3,183 people in English and Spanish; margin of error +/- 2.4 ppts

Trump is playing a role like that of President George W. Bush did during President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign, John Della Volpe, Harvard IOP’s polling director, told reporters today, according to Politico

1. Thanks, looks like millennials knows a Republican as president is not going to help

any progressive ideas.

5. Especially Republicans that are rabid and foaming like Trump and Cruz

They could set us back generations! Like centuries back! We will forget that time when gays were able to marry and Maher smoke pot on TV! generations from now will think those are just stories while we go back to some Very Black ages!

10. I don't like Trump but Cruz is worse, he wants to be USA's first dictator.

2. That answers the millennial question pretty concisely!

3. Under a GOP WH alongwith congress

they know like we know it would be fucked up times.

4. But...but...

We've been told ad nauseum that Hillary can't bring in the young voter. Go figure.

6. I was posting at the same time as you! LOL!

Good news! THanks!!!

7. Trump does do well with young white male, uneducated rednecks

Among the under 30 crowd, that's about it for him.

8. We sometimes forget

that there's a whole country out there that never heard of DU and the millennials and others are VERY different from some denizens of DU. Not surprising to me that they're firmly against a Republican, especially any of the Republicans running now. They're mostly well educated and many are politically savvy.

I hope we all remember that the brats we see on DU do not represent all or even most millennials.

9. My my 18-29 year olds. :)

Who a thunk it.

I can't wait for tomorrow night.

11. I guess the pollsters didn't read DU.

On to Tuesday!!!

[sheshe2]

12. Lol~

Onward and upward brer.

Tuesday it is!

I've been saying this since December. The young are not Hillary haters. Only the aging dudebros who claim to own em.
