Poll shows that Millennials would flock to Clinton against Trump

Susan Page and Jenny Ung, USA TODAY 6:29 p.m. EDT March 14, 2016

WASHINGTON — Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has expanded his double-digit lead among Millennials in the Democratic presidential race, but a new USA TODAY/Rock the Vote poll finds a way for Hillary Clinton to solve her generation gap: Donald Trump.
***
In a hypothetical Clinton v. Trump contest in November, voters under 35 would choose Clinton by a crushing 52%-19%, a preference that crosses demographic lines. Among whites, she'd be backed by nearly 2-1, 45%-26%. Among Hispanics, by more than 4-1, 61%-14%. Among Asian Americans, by 5-1, 60%-11%. Among African Americans, by 13-1, 67%-5%.
***
The poll, the second in a series, is part of USA TODAY's One Nation initiative, a series of forums across the country on the most important issues of 2016. The online survey, taken by Ipsos March 3-10, polled 1,541 adults ages 18 to 34.

Sanders now leads Clinton among younger voters by 54%-37%, an even bigger advantage than the 11-point edge he held in January's survey. Millennial women now back Sanders by a jaw-dropping 61%-30% while the divide among Millennial men is much closer, 48%-44%.
***
Clinton is much more broadly acceptable in her party than Trump is in his. One in five Republicans in the survey say they would stay home in a Clinton-Trump election, compared with one in 10 Democrats.

So ... what would the result of a Sanders-Trump contest be ? That seems to be missing.

Better to let this election go in order to save the future of the GOP. What a mess.
