It’s increasingly obvious that the national polling has tightened between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in part because Republicans coalesced behind Trump a lot faster than many anticipated (shocking, isn’t it?) while Democrats have yet to unify to the same degree behind Clinton (which isn’t surprising, since the Democratic primaries are not resolved yet).

So a fair amount rides on how the Clinton camp will manage the task of unifying the Democrats after winning the nomination — not to mention on whether Bernie Sanders does his part. But who are the Democrats who she will need to win over?

New data from Post/ABC polling gives us an answer: The Democratic-leaning voters who view Hillary Clinton unfavorably are disproportionately young, male, white, suburban, and independent.

This week’s Post poll found that among Democrats and Dem-leaning independents, Clinton is viewed favorably by 72 percent, and viewed unfavorably by 26 percent. Post polling guru Scott Clement provided me with this breakdown of that data (click to enlarge):....................

1. You go Jersey!!! Can't wait

2. The Left Has It's Own

White rage demographic only this group is younger and college educated.

So Independent they couldn't figure out deadlines and rules of their candidate's new found party and now whine and spew conspiracy theories.

[TwilightZone]

8. I think that claim went out the window during/after Nevada.

Some of those guys couldn't have fit the stereotype better if they tried.

4. Very interesting but not surprising

[book_worm]

[Hekate]

13. On Mom and Dad's couch?

Sorry -- couldn't resist.

21. Good one!

[StayFrosty]

10. These people are part of the alt-right

A nasty new wing of the radical right that embraces misogyny, xenophobia and racism

They also don't matter in the overall election

Looks like the left has become infested with these people also

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

11. Not at all surprising.

[TwilightZone]

12. aka unreliable voters

The same people Sanders was counting on to win.

[TwilightZone]

14. 57% moderate and conservative?

Well, that's an interesting stat.

[Historic NY]

17. Paulites, LaRouchites, Libertarians, Ex-Baggers.

[all american girl]

15. And who didn't see this coming.

Young white dudes pissed at a woman...seems we have seen this all play out before...every MRA and gamergate freak hating on women on the interwebs...

16. Fox news audience? Fox news debate anyone?

lol! Makes sense!

18. Good post, but my response is "no shit, Sherlock"

19. It's interesting that distribution of the political 'philosophy' in the two groups is very similar.

The people self-identifying as 'very liberal' make up 17% of the favorable group, and 16% of the unfavorable group. The 'somewhat liberal' bunch are 22% and 25%, respectively.

That would seem to indicate that differences with her overall political philosophy/leanings are not what's driving their overall unfavorable view of Clinton. I wonder what it could be? Hmmm.

20. So, she doesn't win the GamerGate demographic ...

thank God.
