Forbes Under 30 Voter Survey, Powered By Zogby: Big News For Bernie

Excerpt:

The Forbes Under 30 Voter Survey, powered by Zogby, the largest polling project of young voters, shows that Senator Bernie Sanders remains the strong favorite among the 18- to 29-year-old electorate, with 32% support among likely Democratic voters. The real surprises come after that. The only other candidate in double digits: former Vice President Joe Biden, at 16%, undermining the conventional wisdom that he lacks support among this segment. Elizabeth Warren garners just 9%—a virtual tie with the race’s newcomer, billionaire former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, and barely ahead of social entrepreneur Andrew Yang (8%).



The Forbes Under 30 Voter Survey, powered by Zogby, polled 1,014 American voters age 18 to 29—including 650 likely Democratic voters. The Millennial and Gen-Z voters, reached via email and text messages, are drawn from a large sampling of U.S. households, and then directed to an online survey. Conducted on January 19 and 20, 2020, it carries a margin of error of 3.1%, or 3.9% among just the likely Democratic primary voters. It is the first in a series of monthly polls that will be conducted with 10,000 unique voters 18-29 by Forbes Under 30 Voter Survey over the course of this pivotal election year

however one wishes to view it there are other voters who will vote in numbers sufficient to negate this poll. Bernie Sanders is the George McGovern of 2020. Anyone who thinks older established people and corporations will turn over their country to Sanders is dreaming with a very loaded pipe. The backlash to his nomination would be phenomenal. YUGE!!

Only 3% of her voter base is in the least reliable age segment. A rock solid performance!
