(9,933 posts)That's really makes this poll worrisome. Still most young people I know refuse to answer a number they don't recognize so even with cell phones polls will tend to skew to an older demographic. Think that's part of the reason why FOX was so surprised by last presidential election.
Moreover, get the impression that Republican pundits want Hillary to run. They've already got their play book against her written. They know she's controversial.
If my republican FOX fed family and hometown friends are indicative of the level of dislike for Hillary then plan on a lot of republicans showing up to vote. Seriously, they're scary. President Obamas election brought forward the ugly racism still prevalent in our country. O it's gonna be so fun getting reacquainted with ugly sexism still festering. But that's beside the point. Fear and dislike motivate republican voters. Hope brings liberal and young voters. Whoever runs needs to be sold as someone who will bring positive change, hope, etc. Last time there wasn't a unified platform or vision offered. It was a message of fear: vote or else republicans. Can't make that mistake again.
