Just as GOP front-runner Donald Trump won seven of the 11 Super Tuesday states, so did his Democratic counter-part, Hillary Clinton.
For the first time, Hillary also won millennials, in Alabama, with 52 percent. The rest of the breakdown of wins is as follows:
- In Arkansas, she won 42 percent of millennials
- In Georgia, despite winning with 71 percent of the vote, she only won 46 percent of millennials
- In Massachusetts, where she barely won with only 50 percent of the vote, she received only 35 percent of millennials
- Similarly, in Tennessee, she won only 39 percent of millennials
- In Texas, Hillary won the support of only 40 percent of millennials
- Virginia was her worst millennial loss of her wins that night, receiving the votes of only 30 percent of millennials
Most of the states had a larger percentage of older voters, demographics which support Hillary. And these are states in which she actually won.
For the four states Hillary lost, two of them have exit polls available. She lost badly to 18-29 year olds in Oklahoma, gaining only 17 percent to Sanders’ 82 percent of the vote. She didn’t fare much better with those 30-44, with her 26 percent to Sanders’ 73 percent.
Vermont is not only Sanders’ home state, but an area where he is popular among all demographics. The breakdown included:
- Ages 17-29: 5 percent to 95 percent
- Ages 30-44: 9 percent to 91 percent
- Ages 45-64: 13 percent to 86 percent
- Ages 65 and older: 23 percent to 77 percent
Hillary performed best among the oldest demographic, as she usually does, but still couldn’t receive a quarter of their support.
Of course, Hillary is likewise expected to perform well in her home state of New York. Perhaps it will even bring her her second win of millennial voters.
After Super Tuesday’s results, Hillary is even more a sure bet to be her party’s nominee. Even where she wins, easily, she still can’t convince millennials to vote for her. For the November election then, millennials will have to decide between her, or the GOP nominee, looking more likely to be Donald Trump with each primary.
