WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton is struggling to make inroads among young Americans who overwhelmingly supported Bernie Sanders during the Democratic presidential primary, a worrisome sign as she tries to reassemble the coalition that twice propelled Barack Obama into the White House.
Opinions of Clinton among young Americans vary by race and ethnicity, according to a new GenForward poll of adults ages 18 to 30. The majority of the nation's younger blacks and Asian-Americans have a favorable impression of Clinton, but the presumptive Democratic nominee struggles with whites and Hispanics.
Just 26 percent of young whites and 49 percent of Hispanics have a positive opinion of the former secretary of state. Both groups overwhelmingly say she is not trustworthy.
"I just don't see her being honest and straightforward," said Alexander Tomas, an 18-year-old Hispanic from Fort Worth, Texas. A recent high school graduate, Tomas supported Sanders in the state's Democratic primary, but says he's now undecided about his choice in November's general election.

GenForward is a survey by the Black Youth Project at the University of Chicago with the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The first-of-its-kind poll pays special attention to the voices of young adults of color, highlighting how race and ethnicity shape the opinions of the country's most diverse generation.
The survey polled all young adults, not necessarily registered or likely voters, but the findings suggest Clinton may struggle to turn out people 18 to 30 to support her candidacy. While Clinton emerged victorious in her unexpectedly tough primary with Sanders, the contest revealed a stunning weakness with such young voters

They can see that she is a genuine pig.
Yeah, and if the AP is saying it, it must be REALLY BAD!
Voters too young to remember -

Easily reversed once she fully embraces the Free College Scam.
Blacks are hopeless, don’t even bother trying to win them over. They sold their souls for food stamps and section 8.
One of the biggest myth’s of voting, is that young voters vote at all in large numbers.
Even with Obama, it wasn’t what made the difference.
Well, after all, it is THEIR future that will be decided in November. Maybe there is some hope after all.
Not going to happen.
Hillary Clinton is struggling to make inroads among young Americans
Because she is corrupt and every other word out of her mouth is a blatant lie. Most young folks aren’t nearly as stupid as Hillary thinks they are.
How I see it is that now that Sen. Bernie sold out, most of the younger people will either vote for Mr. Trump or stay home.
Young recent college graduates will vote by Hillary as she will promise to forgive their debts. Hillary does not expect to get every group. However, Hillary and her advisers do expect to get enough votes from each group to swing the election in her favor. She will win.
Yep. That it was saved the Brexit vote only 26% of 18-34 yrs. Old voted.
Obama took over the student loan program specifically for this purpose.
So that the Dems could buy ONE ELECTION when they needed to the most.
FUHC
I guess she is not hip and cool for the millenial/hipster crowd.
Yes, the free college scam is her effort to get these people.
Still it is for Hillary, too little too late.
