As President Obama’s time in the White House winds down, 2016 presidential candidates will be persistent in trying to win the millennial vote.
How these coveted voters view Obama could play a huge role in not just who the Republican Party and Democratic Party put forward to run against one another, but who will eventually win.
Below is how racial and ethnic groups of millennials view President Obama’s job success, according to a new survey from the Public Religion Research Institute.
Overall, 53 percent of millennials approve of Obama’s job as president, compared to 44 percent who disapprove. While just four in 10 (40 percent) white millennials approve of Obama’s job performance, more than double that proportion (87 percent) of black millennials approve. In addition, two-thirds of Hispanic (66 percent) and Asian-Pacific Islander (63 percent) millennials approve of Obama’s job performance.
The Millennials, Sexuality and Reproductive Health Survey of roughly 2,300 adults between ages 18 and 35 was conducted online between Feb. 12-25 with an overall margin of error of plus or minus 2.7 percentage points.
