Millennials now biggest voting group in U.S., 2-1 Democratic

A new Harvard University poll Tuesday is blaring a loud danger signal to the Republican Party after finding that millennials are now the largest generation of voters and they are overwhelmingly Democratic, by a two-to-one margin.

The latest youth poll from Harvard’s influential Institute of Politics found that America’s 18-29-year-olds prefer Democrats 65 percent to 33 percent, in part because they don’t like President Trump and are “fearful” about the future.

Also driving their concern is a worry that blacks and Hispanics “feel significantly under attack” in the U.S., and that issues younger voters care about such as global warming and gun control are being ignored in Washington.

“American political institutions are at a tipping point,” said John Della Volpe, polling director at Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics. “Millennials are now the largest generation in the electorate.

Huh? Please provide a rationale.

You all need to realize it will all be ok. Millennials will turn conservative once they see that their paycheck goes to societys leeches.

A Harvard poll? Come on Joe. Really? Harvard? The same place that produce Bill & Hillary Clinton, Obama, Pocahontas? You think Harvard is telling the truth or even using a level measure?

For s&g's during the Presidential campaign, I checked out the facebook page of Clinton and Trump. Now, I'm a millennial, yet Trump had a 3:1 advantage in friend's liking his page. Nowhere near scientific, but, results don't lie. Dems have lost 1000+ seats since 2010. Young conservatives just don't speak as loudly as the very vocal minority.

The snowflakes are brainwashed. The truth is you cant blame them, they go through 4 years of it in high school, then 4 more years of it in college, only to watch it on fake news networks.
