Young voters vastly prefer Bernie Sanders to any other Democratic presidential candidate
Share to facebookhe Forbes Under 30 Voter Survey, powered by Zogby, the largest polling project of young voters, shows that Senator Bernie Sanders remains the strong favorite among the 18- to 29-year-old electorate, with 32% support among likely Democratic voters. The real surprises come after that. The only other candidate in double digits: former Vice President Joe Biden, at 16%, undermining the conventional wisdom that he lacks support among this segment.
Perhaps more surprising: the former South Bend, Indiana, mayor Pete Buttigieg, the youngest candidate, has practically no support among Millennials or Generation Z. He generates just over 3% support among likely Democratic primary voters under 30, which places him in a virtual tie at the absolute bottom, with Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar and his fellow Millennial, Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard. Even 62-year-old hedge fund billionaire Tom Steyer is ahead of him.
Young Democrats remain more idealistic than most other voters. Some 58% want to support a candidate who “stands on principle” versus 31% who want to support someone who will beat Trump. In a head-to-head among all young voters, Sanders beats President Trump 58% to 34%, versus 51% to 35% for Biden, 51% to 36% for Warren and 50% to 34% for Bloomberg. Buttigieg again fares relatively poorly, polling ahead of Trump 47% to 35%.Forbes Under 30 Voter Survey, Powered by Zogby, among all voters under 30.
