From the actual poll: http://iop.harvard.edu/iop-now/harvard-iop-spring-2016-poll

Also: Sanders is Only Candidate with Net Positive Rating



Clinton is their consolation prize. Us middle aged and old people kind of fucked that up for them.

They are much smarter than you know which is why they support Bernie to begin with.

That doesn't mean they will ever forgive you for treating them the way you have.

Don't count on them to fight for your Social Security benefits or anything else after selling them out.

Smart enough to know that Bernie or Hillary would be better in the WH than any republican. 61% will still vote for Hillary, so Bernie does not have a lock on them. One we have a nominee, no matter who they are they WILL beat Trump or Cruz. I will vote for whoever wins, and so will millions of others, including millennials it looks like!

Reagan received 66% of the vote in his 49 state landslide. Trump needs to exceed it to tie.

Since they apparently prefer either Dem possible nominee. If < 30 had the same voting rates as > 60 we would have House, Senate and POTUS wrapped up.

The phrase Deflon Don originated in a very different context, but it could apply to Trump just as well.
