Trump tied, fueled by 22% millennial swing

While the Washington Post may be writing everything they can to save Hillary Clinton’s campaign — launching a massive offensive against FBI Director James Comey — the latest Washington Post/ABC poll shows the damage may already be done.

Scandals have driven poll numbers in October, and despite only about half of respondents in the poll knowing about the FBI’s reopening of the Clinton emails, it has taken a massive toll on Clinton. The survey, taken from October 26-to-29 (email scandal happened on the 27th), shows the biggest swing is with younger voters.

The pollster for WaPo/ABC, Gary Langer, said, “Young voters (age 18 to 29) were a central element of the Obama coalition; he won them by a record 34-point margin in 2008 and by 23 points in 2012. Today, though, preferences among young voters have contracted from 56-21 percent in Clinton’s favor in early tracking to 48-35 percent now.”

That’s a 22-percent swing in just weeks.

Among all voters, Clinton was winning by 12 percent on October 22nd, according to their data. Now, they are statically tied with Clinton at 46 percent and Trump at 45 percent.
