Millennials Favor Hillary Clinton in Harvard Poll

[n2doc]

Meanwhile, no Republican contender captured more than 10 percent among that party's likely or potential youth primary voters.

America’s young adults, who twice helped propel President Barack Obama to victory at the ballot box, are lining up to support Hillary Clinton in 2016.

A survey by Harvard University’s Institute of Politics shows that 55 percent of all young adults, ages 18 to 29, would rather see a Democrat maintain control of the White House after the next presidential election.

Clinton, 67, is likely to be among the oldest candidates in the race from either political party. Still, she's overwhelmingly favored among young adults who identified themselves as likely or potential Democratic primary voters, with 47 percent saying they plan to back the former secretary of state.

1. Not unusual for young americans to lean Democratic, and Clinton is the only name out there.

I am not, therefore, very surprised by the headline of this article.

However, this time next year might look very different once others have announced and some candidate policies clarified.

Will they turn out?

I think they'll turn out if we give them a candidate that inspires them, yes.

2. Hillary is very qualified and is recognized as a person very capable in being president.

I am happy has entered the race. I will be happy to work to get her elected.
