Millennials, who helped elect Barack Obama president twice, are turning away from the Democratic Party in 2018, according to a new poll from Reuters.
The outlet polled “more than 16,000 registered voters ages 18 to 34” and found a noticeable drop among these voters in support for the Democratic Party. Some, Reutersfound, have migrated to the Republican Party amid the majority party’s agenda of tax cuts and deregulation.
The online survey of more than 16,000 registered voters ages 18 to 34 shows their support for Democrats over Republicans for Congress slipped by about 9 percentage points over the past two years, to 46 percent overall.
