The general-election voting support, for Democratic presidential nominees, from the 18- to 29-year-old millennials over the last three elections were 66 percent (Barack Obama's Democratic presidential pickup from 2008), 60 percent (Obama's Democratic hold of the presidency with re-election from 2012), and 55 percent (Hillary Clinton's failure to hold the presidency in the Democratic column from 2016). Bernie Sanders's 2016 Democratic presidential primaries voting support from 17- to 29-year-old millennials (you can vote in the primaries at age 17 if you will be 18 by or on Election Day) reached 70 percent nationally. He reached 80 percent or above in the first three contests (Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada) and in a good amount of states afterward (including his home state Vermont, Hillary Clinton's birth and Barack Obama's home state Illinois, as well as the quartet of Rust Belt states which flipped Republican in the general election to elect Donald Trump, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin). In this video, from Jimmy Dore, comes Democrats' ideas on what they think they need to do to persuade millennials to give them stronger voting support.
