A shocking new poll from ABC News reveals Hillary Clinton is losing to Donald Trump nationwide 46 percent to 44 percent. That’s an 11 percent shift from March, when Trump trailed Clinton by 9 points.
What was the biggest driver in this shift in the polls? Surprisingly, it’s young voters.
Clinton’s support among young voters ages 18 to 29 has dropped 19 percent since March — and Trump has gained 17 percent support from the same demographic. That’s a 36 percent swing.
While Clinton leads Trump in the demographic 45 to 42 percent, this margin in the general election would ensure a Republican landslide. Mitt Romney lost the youth vote to Barack Obama by more than 20 percent, and even a 10 percent Democrat margin would still ensure a decisive victory for Trump.
So, why the big shift?

Although Trump has also been encouraging Sanders to run an independent bid. I’m not sure whether that is a good idea for either candidate or not.
Hewitt has always been a GOPe squish. The Clintons have never had their nefarious Arkansas past fully vetted? Well Trump will see to that. Squishes like Hewitt have always avoided the subject even when Bill was in office.
I've said (on Twitter) that the probability of Hillary getting indicted is inversely proportional to her poll numbers. If she really starts to tank, Obama's puppet, Loretta Lynch, will suddenly find (among the mountains of incriminating evidence) that, yes, there may actually be enough there to indict Mrs. Clinton.
One could only pray that a bunch of Dems will follow the Clintons down history’s toilet..
-—So, why the big shift?-—
I phone consensus
Once the shift begins, the constantly texting young women will catch the drift and dare not buck the trend.
About the worst thing you can say to an upset woman is “relax”.
Try it at home.
They wanted Cruz to run against
I seriously doubt with the millennial's its anything that consequential. More likely they see Trump as the glamorous celebrity, they know him from "Apprentice" while Hillary is just some boring old women with a horny husband that mom and dad voted for 20 years ago.
Of course if that is the only reason they vote for Trump, it still works for me....
“He said this was not going to sit well with people who had experienced suicide”
I hope he did not express it that way; people who have experienced suicide can’t vote legally.
Hewitt makes me sick. This morning he was trying to help one of his MSM buddies from the WaPo trash Trump. This despite the fact that the guy admitted on-air that he egged Trump on with a loaded question.
BOOM.
Hillary’s “support” is fluid. All of Bernie’s infuriated voters are in play if she wins the Dem coronation.
Mainstream media will put out all the stops to try to take Trump down between now and November - and they’ll destroy what’s left of their brand reputations in the process.
Hewitt is last week’s garbage, moldy, rotting and stinking. A nobody in the broadcasting world.
Whatever he says go opposite and victory is yours.
“They wanted Cruz to run against”
No, I don’t give them credit for thinking that deep
Add that to his apparent utter lack of hypocrisy and "fakeness" and it will be a landslide.
But...but...the young voters will give a permanent Democrat majority! But...the conservatives are all old white people! But...Drumpf!
Contract With Millenials. Take them out of the Social Security program and give them a Health Savings Account with the money they put in. 2 issues solved. Buy out those between ages 40-55. Over 55’s can collect until they assume room temperature in 30 years.
LOL!
Good idea but I have 2 concerns:
1. buy out with what money? The lockbox has been broken into so this will increase the debt.
2. Most people are not willing to be responsible enough to save. For example, there’s a huge percentage of people that have nothing besides social security when they retire. The younger generations are even worse at it, being raised in the entitlement-attitude schools. What will we do with all the destitute old people?
Not a slip. We need to start using that term to refer to them.
Hewitt is a propagandist for The Cheap Labor Express.
