Oh man, if this is true 2020 is gonna be a cakewalk for the Donald. Dems keep playing Identity politics while Trump keeps playing the economy (all that really matters to our youth) like a fiddle. White millennial and gen Z males, welcome to the Trump Train! woo woo!
It may not be until 2028, 2032 elections that Dems get control of the presidency back now that young whites are in the mix - remember how bad Dems criticized white females who didn't vote for Hillary? Keep playing that race card, Dems, while forgetting who still comprises the majority of this country. You can't lose 30% of hispanics as well and think you're going to beat Trump while hemorrhaging anyone from millenials/gen z. There simply isn't enough room for error if this poll is true.
A shock poll by Reuters/Ipsos reveals that the Democrats are shedding millennial votes, with support dropping by nine percentage points since 2016. This shift is most pronounced among white millennial men, who now favour Republicans over Democrats by 11 percentage points. In 2016, Democrats led Republicans in this group by 12 percentage points. There has been a staggering swing of 23 percentage points in just two years.

But while the Democrats may be uninspiring to millennials as a whole, the party is actively alienating young, white men. Today’s identity politics is impossible for millennials to avoid, whether they are confronted with it on campus or through clickbait comment pieces. In the identitarian worldview, ‘white men’ are responsible for all the world’s woes – the phrases ‘white people’ and ‘white men’ are practically shorthand for evil. Listicles reveal the ‘37 things white people need to stop ruining in 2018’, magazines declare that ‘white men must be stopped’, while even respectable outlets like the Washington Post ask ‘why can’t we hate white men?’.
