In Iowa, Women Under Age 30: Bernie 84%, Hillary 14%

Anderson Cooper asked Mrs. Clinton about this during the Town Hall in Derry NH.

She was asked what accounts for this 70 point spread, and had absolutely no idea what the answer the might be.

SEVENTY POINTS!

Sanders winning women from 30-44 by 11% is pretty amazing, too.

But no Bernie supporters seem to post the numbers for women over 40. What's up with that?

Young women today are not so impressed with a gender battle to secure the first woman president. It doesn't mean as much to them as it does to older women, because they don't experience the glass ceiling that used to exist.

Plus they are repudiated by Hillary's attacks on Bill's bimbos during the '90s.

Plus the Clintons are so yesterday for them. There's just no connection to this moneyed power couple.

People who get their news from TV tend to support Clinton.

People who get their news from the internet support Sanders.

That also explains DU, why DUers skew very much older, into what should be the Clinton core demographic, but in polls DU goes overwhelmingly for Sanders. Because we're getting our news from the internet.
