61% of likely voters age 18-29 say they would vote for Clinton, while just 25% Trump

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/04/25/politics/donald-trump-young-voters/index.html

The survey, conducted by the Harvard University Institute of Politics, finds that in a hypothetical matchup, 61% of likely voters age 18-29 say they would vote for Clinton, while just 25% would vote for Trump. That's worse than most other recent Republican candidates for president.

Any Dem would win by that margin.

The question is how many would show up. I suspect very few would come out to the polls.
