Can Rubio Appeal to Younger Voters?

April 14, 2015 · 9:56 am ET · 51 Comments

First Read: “What matters more to the new generation of American voters — biography or policy? After all, polls show that two of the biggest issues for millennials are combating climate change and supporting gay marriage, both of which Rubio opposes… So policy is a challenge here for Rubio. Remember, both JFK and Obama tapped into a new generation of American voters not just because they were young, but also because their policies spoke to this generation.”

2016 Campaign Marco Rubio
