Donald Trump would win by a landslide if American teenagers got to choose the next president, according to a new poll.
A solid 47.1 percent of high school students backed Trump while only 32.6 percent voted for Hillary Clinton in a recent online mock election, according to After School, the country’s largest teen-focused social network. Trump also trounced Clinton in 42 of 50 states, according to the poll, in which 106,608 teens voted from Oct. 14-21 by using an app.
After School organizers told The Post they were surprised by the results but believe it shows the Selfie Generation loves The Donald because he’s a “political outsider” who shares teens’ “anti-establishment” values.
Other reasons students gave for why they support Trump included: “He is going to lower taxes” and “He’s not Hillary.”
Overall, Trump won all 11 swing states that he is banking on to win the presidency, as well as New York, which is a stronghold with registered Democratic voters.
However, Clinton won the teen vote in New York City — capturing every borough but Staten Island.
In an odd twist, Trump also raked in more votes than Clinton among high school girls, even though the poll came out a week after the leaking of the infamous 2005 Hollywood Access tape — in which he bragged about grabbing women “by the p—y.” Trump still earned 40 percent of the teen girl vote while Clinton took 38 percent. ‘The mock election results would have been far different had Bernie Sanders been in the running. He connected extremely well with teens.’

Awesome
When indoctrination is over done, people seek its opposite.
Look at the Soviet Union—after a couple of generations, the population was completely cynical about Communism. Russia’s resurgence is along traditional lines of nationalism and historic empire, not Marx.
My son’s school had a booth at their fair last week where students could vote for either Trump or Hillary. One student, one vote. Trump won 62%-38%, with more than 1,000 students casting a vote.
This is in a school where leftist indoctrination is a daily event and where the majority of parents are libs.
I can’t explain it, but it gives me hope.

Pizza NOW!
I know this is all anecdotal information, but my son is 13 and very much identifies with the conservative movement. (I realize his father has influence). My sense is that he and his friends are unique from the Millennials and that they are unconsciously in reaction to this generation. They are much more practical and their instinct tells them that they have a lot of pieces to pick up from previous generations once they come of age.
Except for the Soros supplied voting machines. Bad stuff going on with these in Texas and I believe Ohio.
That’s surprising. I would have thought they’d all be brainwased numbskulls parroting their liberal teachers.
I hadn’t thought of that. The natural inclination of teenagers is to rebel. Combine that fact with overload indoctrination and this is what you get. Wish that same reaction was happening on college campuses today.
I am in Los Angeles. Recently I was on a bus and two white high school boys were sitting behind me. I heard one tell the other that half the kids in his class were for Trump.
I have not seen the “My Weekly Reader” poll this year but it used to be a very solid predictor of what the parents were choosing as they spoke with their kids.
Maybe MWR has discontinued because it was “too white” or perhaps it became too gay-friendly to have sitting around the average household or maybe children just don’t read anymore and it has become “My Weekly App”.
FWIW, My kid’s high school had a full out campaign with all 4 parties represented. According to him, they all did a good job of explaining their parties platforms etc...Trump in a landslide. In NJ. He said Obama is still a rock star to the kids but they hate her.
My grandchildren echo their parents...and Trump wins!!
The kids here are wearing Hillary For Prison t-shirts. My boys (11th and 10th grade) know only a handful of peers who support Hillary. I suppose that will change after a year in college. High school teachers are lame and ignored, but college professors are godlike and influential to 18 year olds.
That sounds very encouraging.
Yeah, but the reason their called “teens” is because they’re not old enough to vote.
/well, not really
And wouldn’t the teens reflect their parents’ views?
Landslide!
Vote TRUMP!!
For Freedom!!!
