According to a new USA TODAY/Rock The Vote poll, Donald Trump is performing at almost record lows among young American voters. This showing is fueled, in part, by many millennial Bernie Sanders supporters finally flocking to Hillary Clinton.
The poll shows Clinton leading Trump 56 percent to 20 percent among voters under the age of 35. Adding in third-party candidates, the numbers still show Clinton with a wide lead at 50 percent to Trumps 18 percent, Gary Johnsons 11 percent, and Jill Steins 4 percent.
The poll also found that 50 percent of voters under the age of 35 are supportive of the Democratic Party, with only 20 percent supportive of the Republican Party, and 17 percent independent. Young voters believe that Trump seemed less presidential after the Republican Convention. This is in direct opposition to Clintons numbers among young voters, which indicate that after the DNC she seems more presidential.
The recent USA TODAY/Rock The Vote poll isnt the only one to document Trumps floundering campaign with young voters. A McClatchy Poll released last week actually shows Trump trailing behind both third-party candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein among voters under the age of 30. In that poll, Trump polled at 9 percent, compared to Clintons 41 percent, Johnsons 23 percent and Steins 16 percent. Trumps level of support was just one point above undecided voters at 8 percent.
