Poll: Donald Trump unpopular among young

Donald Trump is extremely unpopular among young adults, in particular young people of colour, and nearly two-thirds of Americans between the ages of 18 and 30 believe the presumptive Republican nominee is racist, according to a survey.

The GenForward poll also found just 19% of young people have a favourable opinion of Mr Trump compared with the three-quarters of young adults who hold a dim view of the New York billionaire.

Mr Trump’s likely general election opponent, Hillary Clinton, is also unpopular with young people, but not nearly to the same extent as the real estate mogul and realty TV star.
