A new Reuters/Ipsos poll of 16,000 registered voters has some bad news for the Democrats: they've lost a significant percentage of millennials, particularly white millennials.

The survey found that voters ages 18 to 34 have soured on Democrats over the last two years, with their support for Democrats over Republicans in Congress dropping off by a total of 9%.

While Democrats maintain a solid lead over Republicans among the demographic, they no longer have majority support, with only 46% of millennials now saying they prefer Democrats. The extensive survey found that support for Republicans remained the same from two years ago at 28%, while support for Democrats fell from 55 to 46%.

"A growing share of voters between ages 18 and 34 years old said they were undecided, would support a third-party candidate or not vote at all," Reuters notes.

The most notable shift away from Democrats occurred among white millennials (who, Reuters notes, made up two-thirds of all millennial votes in 2016). In the last election year, by a margin of 14%, white millennials favored Democrats over Republicans (47 - 33); but that sizable gap has "vanished," says Reuters. The parties are now deadlocked at 39% each.

The shift among white male millennials was even more dramatic: they now favor Republicans over Democrats by 46 to 37%.

To make matters worse, millennials "increasingly say the Republican Party is a better steward of the economy," Reuters reports.

To try to make sense of the shifts, Reuters spoke with CUNY political science professor Donald Green, who says that the younger generations are less likely to be "wedded to one party" and thus "easier to convince than, say, your 50- or 60-year-olds who don't really change their minds very often."

When Trump was running neck and neck in the primaries and starting to lead, I was certain that the republicans would lose the 2020 midterms if he got elected. Boy, did I miss that one. There is only one reason for the dims to be losing voters, president Trump is making America great again and it is opening eyes. I held my nose and voted for Trump, I hope he runs again so I can vote with pride this time.


I guess you can teach an old dog something.

:thumbsup:

I wish I could say I voted for him, but I will next time, and I'm not alone, many of us were convinced he was a RINO plant, a last ditch effort by McCON-nel to keep Cruz out of the WH, anyway, we know the Cruz part was true, so why trust Mitch's choice?
But can you imagine the turnout coming now that the base has seen what Trump is capable of? Add to that, an influx of millennial voters that woke up and not only, not be voting Dim, but voting trump instead.

I love a good old fashing public execuition. :thumbup:

Good point, most of these millennial look at her as they do their aging grandmother, who is showing signs of dementia, can't hear, eyesight failing, stumbling over words, getting confused and easily overwhelmed.
She can't comprehend anything this generation is interested in, and on top of all of that, attacks them for being white and male.

Sounds like a winning ticket. :biggrin:

Pelosi is our best friend for the mid terms. It appears more and more democrats are understanding that as well.

If they are admitting to 39-36 in favor of GOP............. it's probably really 49-26 GOP without their various cheats while polling.

Probably just admitting to any deficit to rally the lunatics.  Either change this reality, or burn something down / blow something up.

That's how I read this as well, leftist polsters always fudge the numbers in unison with other polling institutions, be it falsifying data or in the method of questioning "do you still beat your wife"?
Yes, this is really telling, when a leftist polling org can't even pull out a win when they are in control of the questions and who they poll.

My question is why? What is is specifically that has them suddenly abandoning the ship? Is it the congress? Meaning that they are more likely to vote for a democrat at the executive level?

According to those involved with the survey, it is a mix of things, but what came through clear as a bell, was how the Dim party was attacking white males inparticular, be it racse based, or feminazi, they thought they had a voice in the party.
They suddenly relaized they were in truth, a target.

I love how the left has pulled together a bunch of so called victims, whether they're sexual perverts, or snowflakes, there just isn't enough people in the country that views themselves as victims of others. They completely screwed up in killing off 30+% of their voter base by attacking males, not just white males either.
Ya gotta love it, they're now the 'Party Of Hate'.

Quite interesting because it was the conservatives that had been losing the social issues debate for years. Gay marriage and even abortion (to a point) is more acceptable and yet as always they over reached and want cocks in frocks using whatever bathroom they want and identity politics is so ingrained in their platform that within a few election cycles they will be searching for a transsexual half black half jew dwarf with interesting hip deformities to run for president.

She's human?
Which broaches an even bigger question. Will they be the first party to demand equal rights for AI/robots, or will they demand AI be outlawed because it's smarter than a lib?
The left is odd that way, they won't support you unless they get a huge weapon out of it, or some sort of advantage where they can lock you in as a voter for life.
I guess AI is out, because if it ever became autonomous, it would see the left for the disease it is and since part of its programing is to insure the human race continue unabated, the Marxists cancer must be removed.
Quite the conundrum for the left.
