Look what the media was hiding under their prayer rug: Hillary’s approval numbers falling
The Coach's Team ^ | 8/1/16 | Kevin "Coach" Collins

Remember the Democrat line that millennials love Hillary Clinton and will carry her to victory even as older voters are wisely turning away from her? A new Gallup survey shows that, like so much of what Democrats and their puppets in the media say, this just isn’t so. Gallup found that since January the favorable opinion of Clinton held by 18 to 29 year old voters has fallen 11 points, from 42% saying they had a favorable opinion of her then to just 31% saying the same today. And younger voters are not alone in changing their feelings toward Clinton. Among the next older group, those 30 to 49, Clinton’s approval rating has dropped from 45 to 41. The voters in the 50 to 64 age group have soured on Clinton as well. Since March, their opinion of her has declined by the same 45 to 41%. The favorable opinion of Hillary Clinton held by the oldest group surveyed, those 65 and over, has fallen 6 points since March and is now at 39%.

The significance of these declines cannot be brushed aside. In 2012, 18 to 29 year olds were 19% of all voters and supported Barack Obama 60/37; those aged 30 to 44 who made up 27% of voters went for Obama 52/45 over the Republican candidate. This means that 46% of all voters backed the Democrat by 56/44. With both of these groups now turning away from Clinton in substantial numbers and approving of her at an average of just 35.5%, she is in trouble.

This information was reported in Paul Bedard’s “Secrets” column and was accompanied by two anecdotes about the lack of enthusiasm among millennials specifically and Clinton supporters...

They’re trying to cover for voter fraud. I am sure they are ramping up the machines as we sit here...

I’m a little surprised that the younger generation has a lower opinion of her then people over 40. It’s good to see so many young people showing such good judgment. I have absolutely no respect for anyone who supports this corrupt criminal.

I would not be so quick to attribute good judgment to them. They overwhelmingly support socialism in the form of Sanders. What they probably do not see in HRC is that she is not far enough to the left.

Actually, most of the younger folks (maybe 2/3rds) think of themselves as special snowflakes and want free stuff.

They’ll be getting a free trip to the re-education camp if Killary, the Whore of Babylon felon, is elected.

Was just wading through the fever swamp (DemocraticUndeground) and they currently cite Gallup poll results that indicate Trump’s number fell drastically after the convention as opposed to Hillary’s numbers improving. But that’s usually the case for that website - they have their “own set of facts.”

Just as a side note: New York Slimes online page right now has an article “How the Stupid Party Created Trump.” I did a double take because I thought they still had a fig leaf taped over their shameless huckstering - but I see that it’s an “opinion piece.” Really, the entire publication should acknowledge that it’s just an opinion paper.
