Ok, the article says the overall support for Republicans by millennials has dropped from 28% to 27%. There must be something which explains it.
9% drop overall among millennials.
Quote:
The online survey of more than 16,000 registered voters ages 18 to 34 shows their support for Democrats over Republicans for Congress slipped by about 9 percentage points over the past two years, to 46 percent overall. And they increasingly say the Republican Party is a better steward of the economy.
Uh, this is was too brief and lacking in deeper detail, what are their education? Where are they from? Where do they live currently? In a city or rural commmunity? What is their current occultation? Do they work in a white collar or blue collar field?
All of those things matter, specifically geography and education. People act as if millennials are monolithic and we’re not especially when you start breaking us down by geography and education.
The basic gist that I got from the article is that they didn’t really care for either party, not that there was a huge amount of support on either side. It sounds like *more* white millennial men support Republicans, but overall, the support is still pretty low.

Uh, none of that matters when describing overall group trends.
Ok, you can spin numbers all day long, but you are still not explaining how it is possible the overall support for Republicans by millennials has dropped from 28% to 27%, when you insist the support is getting stronger.
According to a new analysis from the Pew Research Center, 23 percent of Republican voters ages 18-29 have switched parties since 2015, against just 9 percent of Democratic voters in the same age range. As many as half of Republicans 30 and under have abandoned the party at one point or another during that time.

The mistake that Dems make is to believe their own made up universe where people of color, as they put it, are born Democrat. All it takes is for the current crop of dinosaurs to die away. What they don't realize is that the dinosaurs are constantly being replenished by the young. Oh, you don't have to be a white male to detest some of the stuff they put out. Abolishing ICE is the latest. They will live to regret that.

The Guardian quote is a slight misprint. Go to the graph provided by Reuters and you'll see that, among all millennials, Reps increased from 27 to 28% while Dems dropped from 55 to 46%.
