Hillary’s Growing “Millennial Problem” Forces A Reset

Obama crushed Republicans in the past two presidential elections with young voters. In fact, 18-29 year old voters skewed toward Obama by 34 points in 2008 against McCain and 24 points in 2012 against Romney. Meanwhile, Republicans have typically fared better with the Baby Boomers with Romney coming out ahead of Obama with all voters above 45 years old in the 2012 contest and McCain winning with voters above 65.

This is not a recent phenomenon. As the Pew Research Center points out, Democrats have relied heavily on the youth vote throughout history with John Kerry and Obama pushing the support spread between young and old voters to the widest margins since the 70’s.
