Fox News' latest poll shows Senator Ted Cruz jumping to a massive 14 percent lead over Secretary Hillary Clinton among voters under the age of 35.
The same poll shows Trump losing the same younger demographic to Clinton by more than 20 percent -despite Clinton having a 67 percent unfavorable rating among these voters.
Cruz's lead among young voters is fueling his general election chances in November. In this poll, Cruz defeats Clinton 47 percent to 44 percent in the general election; Trump loses 49 percent to 38 percent.
In 2008 and 2012, President Obama won younger voters by huge margins; he defeated Governor Mitt Romney 67 percent to 30 percent among voters 18-to-29 years old. If Cruz can neutralize or reverse this trend, it would be a huge feat for the Republican Party's future.
In the primary race, Cruz is also winning a strong plurality of younger Republicans. While the poll doesn’t measure Republicans under age 35, it does measure Republicans under age 45. Cruz is winning 47 percent of voters under age 45, compared to 30 percent for Trump and 20 percent for Governor John Kasich.
Already posted...same nonsense
Fox News hates trump a lot!
Its a Faux Nudes/Megyn Kelly poll.
two words:
Jesse. Watters.
Makes sense. Both Cruz and millennials are pro-amnesty.
Then they are gospel.
older people are more wise - being a college professor - the millenials are very uninformed
All part of the 100 day siege.
Seriously learn how to use search.
FOX = GOPe
I have four very intelligent kids who are now young adults. None of them really care about politics (and are proud of that) and all are liberals.
They don’t know Ted Cruz yet. Wait until the MSM takes aim at him; these numbers will change.
Lol!
Once the Cruznadians figure out what you did there, watch as they openly embrace the low-info beheadable millenials while simultaneously pummeling Trump supporters for supposedly being low into.
He’s on all the time. How much can they hate him?
Do you think at all before you post?
Hi Joy! There is hope for the future.
More proof that Cruz can’t win.
Wait till they get to college.
My nieces were intelligent non-political until college.
One came back a Social Justice crazy, the other I still have hope she isn’t going to trash her life.
They were taught in college that you become ‘conservative’ as you get older...now is the time to be radical.
Do a lot of millennials watch Fox?
