HRC GROUP/ Harvard Youth Poll: Millennial voters overwhelmingly prefer Hillary over Trump 61% to 25%

Harvard Youth Poll: Millennial voters overwhelmingly prefer Hillary Clinton over Trump 61% to 25%

Apr 25, 2016 10:14am CDT by floridageorge DKOS




A new Harvard poll with a sample of 3,000 Millennials (18 to 29) found that Millenials overwhelmingly back Hillary over Trump.  
It appears that Millennials understand how much better Hillary is than Trump, how toxic Trump is to their particular set of goals and dreams.  
That isn’t always what the media tells us, with many asking open questions like “Will young voters support Hillary in November?”  The implication is that since many Bernie supporters are Millennials and there is such a thing as the “Bernie or Bust” movement among that group, that many young people won’t vote for Hillary.    
That appears not to be an issue for November.



I had also blogged about a previous Millennial poll conducted by USA TODAY/Rock the Vote, USA Today/Rock the Vote poll: In GE Hillary crushes Trump with Millenials by 33%. 52% to 19%.   These newer findings confirm that poll.

..well ya know the rest.

Their "total image makeover" FAIL

Hillary is still light years above the rest in voter confidence & trust, no matter how hard they try & how many millions they spend, & how many times the competition is seen hoisted above her & replayed on Sunday morning talk shows, the non-stop in-your-face Media blitz, & $16 million spent on social media hired hacks to destroy via slander, mockery & lies, the ONE & ONLY Candidate for President in 2016 that is completely capable of leading the Great USA in the world we live in today.

First they said Hillary wasn't a Progressive, then she wasn't honest, then she wasn't likeable, then she wasn't truthful, then she was Third Waaaaay, Wall St, Iraq War. They claimed Millennials didn't like her, AND damn if they didn't accused her of not even being a F'ING DEMOCRAT.

They have slandered her name, the name that they have all made a hefty profit from, and what the heck are we seeing today for all the vile spit that comes out of their their filthy mouths?

HILLARY CLINTON IS BEATING THE SNOT OUTTA TRUMP.
Millennials, who suddenly see their future in the hands of the others as bleak & unpredictable, are nobodys fools when it comes to who they soundly choose as a successor to the wise & brilliant President Barack Obama.

Thank You Hillary Clinton

Hillary will be our next POTUS and we need to give her both houses so that the Supreme Court will be ours for decades!!!!!!

Every real Liberal will be lining up to support her in November
