That voters under age 30 tend to lean Democratic isn’t a shock – the group hasn’t backed a Republican for president since 1988, according to network exit polls – but their turnout and strength of support for the Democrat can sway the outcome.

The result prompted panic among Clinton’s campaign staff, with her spokesman Brian Fallon calling Trump a “serious danger”.
Lichter’s study, which has not yet been published, shows that both candidates are also treated more negatively than the man they hope to succeed. Additionally, one in five independents say that neither political party represents their own views on healthcare. Of those backing him, 14 percent consider him at least somewhat racist.
With third party candidates in Pennsylvania, Clinton gets squashed 40 percent to 34 percent. In Florida, Clinton’s is up by seven points: 44 percent to 37 percent. But 49 percent of Democrats say it’s a minor problem, while just 29 percent don’t think it’s a problem at all. Considering the wealth of establishment candidates who ran against him, my only guess is the moderate Republican vote got split, clearing the way for the (gulp) alt-right to nominate their right-populist nightmare man. But in recent polls there’s a stability to the expectation of who will win, and that’s a good sign for Clinton at an otherwise challenging moment.
“I’ll tell you what I kept thinking too, Jan, was the book of Daniel”. “The truthfulness is everything”. It really makes you wonder if we were in the midst of an election when Flappy Bird hit, would we see similar things? The margin of error is 3.3 percentage points.
This effort will nearly certainly not convince any of Trump’s followers to second guess their preferred candidate, as they’re already familiar and seemingly okay with his most controversial statements, but that’s clearly not the point. Clinton has vowed to restore the program which would have protected the parents of children who are in the country legally and expand benefits to people who were brought to the U.S.as children.
