ABC poll: Trump surge due to massive 36% millennial swing
Red Alert Politics ^ | 5/23/2016 | Ron Meyer

Posted on 05/24/2016 6:50:28 AM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

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?

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 :)

Excellent point! I'm going to remember that when I'm talking to the #NeverTrumpers among my family and friends.

The progressives’ harassment and violence against whites is not working out so well.

Yipee!
Dems or Repubs - if they are self-serving instead of USofA first, may any and all of them be very out quickly.

Another thing Trump has tapped into is the fact that voters under the age of 30 are unaware of the sexual assaults of Bill Clinton. The imbeciles on Morning Schmo were saying that Trump bringing these subjects up is a bad move. THEREFORE we know it is a GREAT move. My 22 year old daughter asked me how did Bill Clinton get away with rape? Why did Hillary stay with him?

Ranks right up there with:

  1. Yes, you are too fat.
  2. Why should I put the toilet seat down for you? You don't leave it up for me!
  3. You have way too many shoes!

Young people don't buy into the lies put out by the MSM... they are NOT swooning over Bill Clinton - see him more like Bill Cosby... NOT NOT NOT buying Clinton/MSM lies...

Get the truth out...

Clinton was impeached for LYING UNDER OATH in a SEXUAL HARASSMENT case NOT for "Monica". Not for being 'unfaithful'... Not for being a jerk... not for being a womanizer.

Impeached for lying UNDER OATH in a sexual harassment case against a powerless woman who was telling the truth.

They were also doing their phony ‘concern’ for Trump - pushing that he should put out his taxes Yeah, right. The whole reason they’re pushing for the taxes is someone in the IRS has leaked stuff to corrupt democrats and they’re hoping to confuse the issue and damage Trump.

When liberals speak their mouths are vomiting lies.

Unless maybe they see some cash.

They do have scruples after all, and a price.

If they are progressives, they will either not vote (probably) or vote Trump. If they are normal people, they will vote Trump.

But who could they parachute in with enough juice to win? The trouble with Biteme is I’m not sure he’s all that much more dynamic than the beast.

...give them a Health Savings Account with the money they put in. 2 issues solved...


You have to make money to save money. Maybe if Trump can improve the economy with good paying jobs, that would work.

There is no incentive to save. There is a penalty on saving. Saving means you’re hoarding the collective’s wealth.

Hugh Hewitt is a GOPe elitist. Hewitt looks down on the Trump vulgarians who fail to worship his Harvard education.
