Former Secretary of Sate Hillary Clinton’s poll numbers keep slipping, and according to a new poll, her numbers are slipping among at least one key demographic.
A USA Today/Rock The Vote poll released Thursday night shows that the democratic front-runner is struggling with millennial women. Seventy-four-year-old Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders beats her out among women ages 18-34 that identify as either independents or Democrats 50-31.
“The challenge of this election is to disprove the skeptics who believe (young people) don’t vote,” Tad Devine, Sanders’ senior adviser, told USA Today. “Obama and his campaign took that on, they disproved it, it became the source of their victory. We’re trying to do the same thing.”
Sanders does better with younger voters overall. The poll shows that between both genders Sanders has 57 support from those ages 18-25. However, Sanders only gets 36 percent support from those ages 26-34.
Clinton, on the other hand, is in the opposite position. She has just 25 percent support from both genders ages 18-25 but sees her support spike to 44 percent with voters ages 26-34.
