Trump's support among young voters remains consistent from last week. Likely voters under 30, however, have shifted support from Johnson to Clinton. Last week, 18 percent of likely voters under 30 supported Johnson. This week, 16 percent said they support him.

(42,641 posts)They might represent positions that find some credibility with voters, but their lack of organization and infrastructure means they have no realistic chance of being anything other than a distraction.
As a 65 year old, the polling for my age group is troubling. So much for wisdom accompanying age.

(23,962 posts)he's got 20% core support from his racist base, another 10% who vigorously hate HRC and think tRump would somehow be better, and then a kind of shaky 10% on top of that who have doubts but are willing to throw in with him for some pet Republican cause like SCOTUS nominees or tax breaks for the rich. i don't see him pulling off a win with that kind of ceiling.
of course that could change quickly if HRC says something stupid at the debate that turns into an in-context soundbite.
