GOP pollster schools RPOF on millennial generation’s priorities, how to win their vote

in 2017/Top Headlines by

The perception that the youth vote has always belongs to the Democrats is not accurate, says GOP pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson. In 2000, she says, George W. Bush and Al Gore split the youth vote, as well as those voters older than 65. But that split certainly occurred in 2008 and even more so in 2012, when Barack Obama defeated Mitt Romney by 23 percentage points among voters under 30.
