Funny, mine don't.* Maybe that's the real divide.

* - although I did scrounge up a couple of hundred so far to help Sanders out-raise Clinton on finance by actual voters as opposed to corporate/rich policy sponsors.

you just substantiated what Bernie supporters have been saying all along and Hillary's have been denying

...from the elite? Divide the young and old?

The old political wedge from the elite is to divide people by race.

You can't. And instead of helping Sanders become President, all your focus has become on Clinton. It's pathetic.

30-44 (24%)

Clinton 53%

Sanders 47%

I'd link it to young people being more idealistic and less skeptical about the tough job Bernie would have on delivering on even half of his promises. People over 30 are more familiar with how government actually works.

Bernie's promises. I do think if we Democrats get to fill the SCOTUS we have a chance to get rid of big money in politics. I also think Bernie is pandering to a certain gullible part of the electorate with some of his promises.

And the kids are right. With climate change the SCOTUS will soon be academic. I am in an odd mood. So I hope you live to see the leading edges of that

50, voted for Sanders, and I feel great!

I'm part of it, and so is my husband. At our caucus the age spread was pretty huge. It's true I didn't see any young people on the Clinton side, but the Bernie side was full of plenty of 45+ people. They were probably the majority.

at least, registered D's who attempted to vote and were allowed.

I"m 65 and joined an active Bernie group back in about Sept/Oct, got 150+ signatures to get Bernie on the state ballot, became a Deputy registrar and registered 120+ new voters and have donated about 5 times to Bernie so far. I was a poll watcher once but I've never gone this far before. It's been nice

I think you have to be delusional or low info to expect that Clinton will protect or increase Social Security and Medicare - Or pathological enough that these don't matter because you have enough money.

voters registered as Democrats prior to October 9th (or for the first time prior to March 25) who were not purged or otherwise removed from the rolls, showed up to vote, and were eventually counted. (Well, no, they might not have been counted, true - these are exit polls.)

well, I'm in my late 50s.

Sanders is making promises there is no chance he will be able to fulfil.

It's unsurprising that younger voters are falling for that disproportionately.

I am for Sanders and younger daughter in mid 30's Clinton. But that is my moderate republican kid so go figure!

He voted for Obama twice.

it's not them personally.

And yes, we still want the hope and change that Obama promised.
