Majority Of US Young Adults Reject Donald Trump
A report on Tuesday in Washington said majority of U.S youths had rejected Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump’s strategy of wooing young supporters of Bernie Sanders, former Democratic presidential candidate.
Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks confirms that the campaign will be hitting the airwaves in Florida, Ohio, North Carolina and Pennsylvania – all key states that Trump is hoping to win in November.
In a Fox News poll released earlier this month, 61% of registered voters believe Clinton is not honest and trustworthy, while 62% believe the same about Trump.
But it’s not all bad news for Trump, who enjoys an 11-point edge over Clinton in IN, a state that went narrowly for President Barack Obama in 2008 before swinging to Mitt Romney, who won there by 10 points in 2012.
But Republicans maintain that voters won’t let presidential politics affect their choice when it comes to the state Senate. According to NBC News, 50 percent of voters said that they would vote for Hillary Clinton if the election fell between August 8 and August 14.
At this point in 2012, President Barack Obama was ahead of Republican nominee Mitt Romney by almost the same margin, favoured by 46% of likely voters to Romney’s 41%, with about 13% picking neither candidate.
“Republican” states Colorado and Virginia changed their minds back in Obama’s election, and show similar interest to Democrats in the case of Clinton. Rubio now holds a small 48 percent to 43 percent edge over Patrick Murphy, with 3 percent saying they will support another candidate. Another 6% intend to vote for Libertarian Gary Johnson and 1% support Green Party candidate Jill Stein, with 5% who are undecided.
Siena pollster Steven Greenberg says the survey shows Trump presents the Republicans with an “added burden”.
“To every voter in Milwaukee, to every voter living in the inner city or every forgotten stretch of society, I’m running to offer you a much better future”, Trump said before tearing into Democrats.
Clinton has meticulously expanded her coalition by arguing that Trump was an aberration and outside the scope of conservative circle and ideology.
Traditionally, Democratic Party presidential candidates build coalition primarily with liberal interest groups, which are mostly racial minorities and working class Americans. It has a margin of error of 4.9 percentage points.
