As best I can tell, the Democrats' advantage in the 18-29 age group peaked with Obama's election in 2008, and has been decaying since. '08 == +32; '12 == +24; '16 == +18.

A lot of Bernie supporters hated Clinton. Also, Johnson received 1.5m more votes over his last run. Meaning plenty of Johnson & Stein supporters hated Trump.

Polls like this illustrate why approval voting is useful. List all the candidates, check the ones you like.

Meanwhile, Democrats continue to gain advantage in the generic congressional ballot.
