Despite Rock the Vote predicting that Hillary Clinton was going to have record support among millennials, exit polls show that she is far behind President Obama’s numbers in 2012.
According to MSNBC, Clinton received just 51 percent of the millennial vote to Trump’s 34 percent.
In 2012, Obama got over 60 percent, and Romney won 37 percent, meaning the Republican nominee brought the Democrats lead with young voters down by 6 points.
This is especially surprising because many polls predicted Trump would underperform Romney significantly.
The Red Alert Politics Millennial Poll Average had Clinton at 52.3 to Trump’s 25 percent — meaning the Republican nominee overperformed while the Democrat underperformed.
