Given the disparity between Hillary's performance and Obama's approval rating, I believe Donald Trump benefited from the 'cool' factor which may have had a greater impact on youth than older adults, (although it has an impact on both). Someone seen as a brash, aggressive upender of the status quo who gets people talking, will attract more kids than a staid politician, especially as many of them don't pay attention to politicians anyway. How much of an impact it had on this poll I don't know, but it likely had an impact. Politics is a popularity contest and aggressive self-promoters know how to get popularity. Clinton never figured this out and she would never have even been the nominee had it not been for her being the wife of the president. Trump had this figured out already by the late 1980s.

Most high school students never go to college. Those that don't make it get dropped into the basket of deplorables. Tongue
