Donald Trump has greatly improved in polls over the last month. According to the Real Clear Politics polling average, the billionaire has seen his deficit with Clinton shrink in half over the last month — and he has millennials to thank for it.

In two polls released late Wednesday afternoon, Trump surged within two points of Hillary Clinton in a four-way race that included Jill Stein and Gary Johnson.

According to the Fox News poll: Clinton's lead stood at 41 percent, Trump was at 39 percent, Johnson at 9 percent, and Stein held on at 4 percent.

Trump received his highest support among young voters than in any previous poll, 31 percent, which is just 8 points behind Clinton.

Fox News wasn't the only poll to report the trend. A Reuters poll among likely voters also saw a big boost for the Republican nominee.

The Reuters poll showed Trump narrowing the gap from 8 points among likely voters to just two points this week.

During that same time period, Trump's support among young voters increased from 19 percent to 25 percent. Clinton polled at 51 percent, still far below the 66 percent Obama received back in 2008 during his first run for the White House.

Very true.

Complacency is the greatest danger.

And, these “deficits” come from polls that are slanted D as though the Magic Negro was driving poll turnouts a third time. Can you say anticlimax?

[Leep]

Ah,Who is Hillary Clinton?

[fortheDeclaration]

Even if they stay home, that is a plus for Trump.

Too bad....You could pitch it as a way to get even for Bernie and keep Bill out of the WH so he can’t hurt any more young interns.......just saying

I’ll check that site out later today - Thanks !

[Nifster]

better than nothing....still would like to see a bunch of em vote Trump just to make the dems mad

[BruceS]

I don’t think that would work. Johnson is campaigning on open borders, absolutely free trade (regardless of what our trading partners do), pulling out of the world and drug legalization. I think he is taking more from Hillary than Trump.

Unfortunately charges that “if you vote Trump you’re a racist” really seem to stick with Millenials.

[caww]

Heck the Millennial Democrats for Trump are even upset the media isn't showing them!

[jmaroneps37]

Yes maybe they are realizing that voting for more of the same will only get them more of the same.

[HamiltonJay]

Millenials finally have Jobs and Mortgages and all the other things that make you think about the impact of policies beyond how they make you feel....

Certainly have lived though a major butt raping disappointment with their support for Barry.

[fortheDeclaration]

Many will.

[caww]

Millenials are BIG TIME mobile device users on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter.

Here's the bad news for Hillary: Donald Trump has a GIGANTIC lead of support on social media. And that means Trump successfully boxed Hillary into the establishment classification with potentially disastrous results for Hillary.

I bet if I stopped 50 black people on the street today and asked them, 45 would not have the slightest idea what the “birther issue” was.

[lewislynn]

Johnson is campaigning on open borders, absolutely free trade

And carbon credits to fight the real threat of "climate change"

[Nifster]

That’s sad

[forgotten man]

Millenials often get a bad rap. Most of our military is made up of millenials. The younger generation has been hit hard by 0bama and the Democrats. Look at what 0bamacare has done to young people.
