Polls Show Millennials' Support of Democrats Wanes
Analysis by The Wall Street Journal of two recent polls suggests that millennial voters, a stronghold for Democrats in recent elections, could be up for grabs.
A Wall Street Journal/NBC News Poll released two weeks ago showed that young voters have slipped considerably in their support of the Democratic Party. Nearly 50 percent of young voters viewed Democrats favorably in 2009, just after Barack Obama's election to the White House, and that figure has dropped to 36 percent.
Today, just over half of millennials disapprove of Obama's performance, up from 38 percent two years ago. Approval of Hillary Clinton has declined, too, according to the poll.
"Riding the updraft of Mr. Obama’s big 2008 win, Mrs. Clinton had a nearly 60 percent approval from voters under 35 in early 2009," Neil King Jr., wrote in the Journal. "By this month, that had fallen to 42 percent in the Journal poll."
