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?

My guess is that people are waking up to the consequences of putting a Toiletarian in office. At least that’s my hope.
And yet on Morning Joe this morning the esteemed cast was going through their daily hand-wringing talking about how unpresidential Trump was being with his attacks on Bill and Hillary and how it will hurt him in the general election. She. Will they learn?
Are Democrats doing you know what in their pants at the change in the polls????
Could it be enough to see a coup in the Democrat party, and deny Hillary her coronation????
Considering how unpopular the Clintons are among many Democrats, the thought of Hillary leading them to a big defeat has got to keep them up at night.
These people have only proven to be completely wrong.
Soon they hopefully will all be out of a job.
INFORMATION is getting out
Our Republic was designed for a (religiously) moral and intelligent (educated) populace
we whom are decrying the state of our "educational" system are beginning to be heard
Not surprising. Americans haven’t seen manly leadership at the national level in nearly 30 years.
Young people see their future - they don’t want to be forced to buy health insurance - thousands a year for health care when before, they only paid an occasional doctor visit bill for the flu.
But replacing her will also give the Democrats heartburn. Hillary will not go quietly in the night. She knows the skeletons in the closets of a lot of Democrats. If she goes down she and Bill are taking a whole lot of people down with them.
But....but....she’s waited her turn all these years! /sarcasm
You should have heard Hugh Hewitt at the start of his show-caught it before I
changed the channel. He was whining that Trump was talking about Vince Foster. He said this was not going to sit well with people who had experienced suicide, and thus the public at large. Hewitt said this was nothing but a suicide and what Trump was doing was spreading falsehoods.
Hewitt is increasingly deranged as is Scarborough. Levin, Limbaugh etc.
When Sanders is officially out of the race (if he is) millennials will move to Trump in droves.
Not sure if that was a slip or not ;)
I hope they actually vote. Young voters are typically excited until election day.
Trump is a sensible and practical man. They can’t make up their minds whether to define him as a zealot or a flip-flopper, and the disingenuousness is showing through. You can’t be both a zealot, and flip-flop on these beliefs. You can be a pragmatist though who is trying to find a way forward between entrenched “sides” and I think that’s what is coming through :)
Damned ceiling...
My 14 year old niece went on a field trip to DC last week and bought a “Make American Great Again” ball cap.
Another poll, of Sanders’ voters, said 20% of them would vote TRUMP in the general...................
Bill is telling voters in CA to “relax”. This poll is going to have the exact opposite reaction. To stay out of jail, Hilly HAS to be looking like she’ll win in November .... the opposite appears to be happening. She’s slipping badly & Trump is on the rise. If this continues, Hilly is going to get thrown under the bus & the super delegates aren’t going to matter because she’ll get ‘taken out’ with coercion & threats .... actual indictment, if it comes to that.
Is the FBI investigation of close friend/Clintonista for many years, Terry McAuliffe, a shot across Hilly/Bill’s bow? He’s a Dem governor ... the DOJ/WH could probably stop the FBI investigation, but it just now “comes out” & the Clinton Foundation is prominently mentioned ... this is not helping Hilly at all in Virginia. Another thought: I wonder if those emails Hilly wiped maybe gave the FBI something to work with or added to what they were already working with relative to T-Mac? Hmmm? Per Sharyl Attkisson’s timeline for emailgate, the FBI took custody of Hilly’s server & thumb drive Aug. 11 of 2015 .... supposedly FBI investigating T-Mac for about a year.

It’s a FReeper coined term. Spread the word...............
