Millennials Plan to Vote for Hillary Clinton in 2016; Prefer Rand Paul Among Republican Candidates

Millennials like Hillary Clinton, according to the latest Reason-Rupe poll of millennials. Among likely millennial voters, 53 percent plan to vote for her if she runs for president in 2016.[1]Even though they see themselves as closer to Republican Gov. Chris Christie on economics, they perceive to be closer to Clinton on social issues. Ultimately they are planning to vote for Clinton. There is also reason to believe that social issues are largely driving the wedge between young people and Republicans.
Part of Clinton’s popularly is undoubtedly related to her heightened name recognition. But most of the Democratic candidates asked about in the survey receive more “yes” votes than votes against them. Vice President Joe Biden comes in second with 30 percent and Elizabeth Warren with 22 percent.(Survey respondents could select more than one candidate).

Yes all 40% of them who bother to exercise their right to vote.
Millennials may be academically sharp, but their take on how the world works and what’s important to the running of a society doesn’t get much beyond such subjects as environmentalism, gay marriage, and pot legalization. Personally, I don’t think anyone still living with a parent should be allowed to vote.
