Have teens been a fairly good predictor in the past?? I think they have.
Everyone knows that if TRUMP takes FL, OH, and PA (and Romney States), the race is WON!
Echoing their parents. Awesome...
There is hope for the younger generation.
Maybe there is some hope for the next generation after all.
My twin boys just turned 18....will be voting Trump.
I love hearing positive news, but I worry that we are consoling ourselves by cherry-picking polls like this that really don’t matter.
That said, I think most of the “real” polls are rigged. I am hoping and praying that we get a landslide (like when Reagan beat Carter) which flies in the face of all the “real” polls and takes the media, the pundits, and the pollsters by surprise.
28 percent of teens can vote. 18 and 19 year olds can vote.
This is likely a good predictor up into the early 20’s.
No thanks. In fact, the voting age should be raised to 30.
Weekly Reader poll used to be accurate, but Scholastic bought them out and the kid’s paper has gone liberal so guess who is winning.
While ‘grabbing women “by the p—y.”’ shocks many old folks (they say) it’s not a big deal to LOTs of teens, even girls. It’s gone from locker room to school hall and public transportation.
An odd thing I noticed 6+ years ago when my kids were in school and I rode a bus daily was that boys would talk like this when the didn’t notice an adult was around. Girls would talk to each other like this when they know I’m standing or sitting there - they just didn’t care.
These were the teens who grew up giving Lewinskys on the 5th grade (yes FIFTH grade) bus because BJ Clinton said it was ok. Today’s teens are younger than that but no doubt learned from the older ones.
Maybe younger millennials aren’t the trigglypuffs that their slightly older peers are.
Some teens can vote, and more importantly, this shows Hillary’s lack of appeal to the millennial generation. She’s got nothing for them and they aren’t going to waste time voting for her. I’ve been touring colleges with my two teens and the lack of Hillary support compared to what Obama had is stunning. And important. The young vote matters and if they don’t turn iut for Hillary like they did Obama, it can have a significant impact in places like Colorado and Wisconsin.
I can't explain it, but it gives me hope.
I know this is all anecdotal information, but my son is 13 and very much identifies with the conservative movement. (I realize his father has influence). My sense is that he and his friends are unique from the Millennials and that they are unconsciously in reaction to this generation. They are much more practical and their instinct tells them that they have a lot of pieces to pick up from previous generations once they come of age.
That’s surprising. I would have thought they’d all be brainwased numbskulls parroting their liberal teachers.
I am in Los Angeles. Recently I was on a bus and two white high school boys were sitting behind me. I heard one tell the other that half the kids in his class were for Trump.
FWIW, My kid’s high school had a full out campaign with all 4 parties represented. According to him, they all did a good job of explaining their parties platforms etc...Trump in a landslide. In NJ. He said Obama is still a rock star to the kids but they hate her.
Yeah, but the reason their called “teens” is because they’re not old enough to vote.
/well, not really
And wouldn’t the teens reflect their parents’ views?
Landslide!
Vote TRUMP!!
For Freedom!!!
