Probably a personality thing, at least that's my explanation for a poll that has Obama job approval at +16 and Trump over Clinton at +15.

That and tons of anger at Hillary and the Democratic party in general for the perceived injustices towards Bernie. There were more 18-22 year olds casting "revenge votes" than most realized.

Also, the "not supporting any candidate" margin was huge in this poll. Basically, if you take this poll as fact, about 35-40% of Generation Zers supported Trump, and the rest were scattered between Hillary, third parties, and  not supporting any candidate. Had Bernie been the nominee, he'd wipe the floor with Trump in this generation. The youth is almost always anti-establishment, and Hillary was the definition of establishment.
