If Republicans want to surrender the 2016 election, there’s an easy path: nominate Donald Trump.
In fact, not only would Republicans lose in 2016, they could struggle in elections for a generation. Here’s the simple truth: millennials overwhelmingly do not like Donald Trump.
In the latest USA TODAY/Rock the Vote poll, Hillary Clinton (who is losing millennials to Bernie Sanders) leads Trump among voters ages 18 to 35 — Clinton winning 52 percent to Trump’s 19 percent.
That’s right, Trump doesn’t even break 20 percent among the nation’s largest demographic. A recent CNN/ORC poll confirmed these numbers, showing 73 percent of millennials disapprove of Trump.
Three-in-four millennials disapprove of Trump, and only 19 percent would vote for him. That’s much worse than John McCain in 2008 or Mitt Romney in 2012.
