Poll finds millennials favor Clinton over Trump by wide margin

So much for "they will never vote for her"

A new USA TODAY/Rock the Vote Poll of Millennials, conducted by Ipsos, finds Hillary Clinton is consolidating the support -- but not yet the enthusiasm -- of the young adults who backed Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primaries. In the survey, Clinton trounces Donald Trump by 36 percentage points nationally (56%-20%) among Americans ages 18 to 34; nearly one in four either are undecided or don't plan to vote.

With third-party candidates in the race, Clinton leads Trump 50% to 18%, with Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson receiving 11% and the Green Party’s Jill Stein trailing with just 4% of the vote.

The survey also shows that the Democratic convention boosted Clinton a bit, but the Republican convention was a catastrophe for Trump with Millennials. In the week following the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, just 19% of Millennials surveyed said that they paid no attention to the major party conventions.

The poll also finds that young Americans are increasingly engaged in the 2016 election, with 90% saying that they have given at least some thought to the 2016 election and 72% of those surveyed saying they are likely to vote in November.
