Generation gap? Democrats losing support among millennials
The Democratic Party is losing ground with millennial voters, all while their interest in the Republican Party is creeping up, according to a new poll.
The Reuters/Ipsos online survey of more than 16,000 registered voters in the 18-34 age category found that support for Democrats has fallen to 46 percent — a roughly 9 percent drop over the last two years.
Two out of three young voters said they did not like President Donald Trump, a Republican, but that did not always translate into a wider dislike of the GOP.
The share of young voters describing themselves as undecided or willing to vote for a third party — or even to not vote at all — is also on the rise, the survey found.
The decrease in support for Democrats was most pronounced among white millennials, who made up a majority of the millennial vote in the 2016 election.
Young white men in particular are now more likely to support Republicans by a 46 to 37 percent margin.
Maybe if Dems cared about Millennials, Millennials would care about them.
Too late. We’re going to replace failed incumbents.
