Clinton May Be Older But She Still Has Younger Voters

Geoffrey Skelley: “Should Clinton and one of the younger Republicans in the field win their respective parties’ nominations, age will become an issue in the 2016 campaign, at least in context. The obvious generational difference will be an unavoidable topic, and the Republican nominee in that situation will almost certainly seek to be a ‘change’ candidate, as many, including the current president, have sought to be before.”

“The irony, however, is that even if Republicans choose a youthful standard bearer, it will be Clinton who receives more support from younger voters than the GOP nominee. Pew recently reported its latest findings on trends in party identification, and the youngest cohort of voters continues to be solidly Democratic, despite some reports to the contrary.”
