GenForward Poll: Most young whites think Clinton broke law
WASHINGTON (AP) — Young Americans are divided over Hillary Clinton's handling of her email account while she was secretary of state, with most young whites saying she intentionally broke the law and young people of color more likely to give Clinton the benefit of the doubt.
The poll is designed to pay special attention to the voices of young adults of color, highlighting how race and ethnicity shape the opinions of a new generation.
Young African-Americans, Asian-Americans and Hispanics view Clinton's actions in a more sympathetic light, though few clear her of all wrongdoing.
While majorities of young African-Americans, Asian-Americans and Hispanics do have a positive view of Clinton, 7 in 10 young whites have a negative opinion.
Large majorities of young adults across racial and ethnic groups consider Trump to be unqualified to be president.
Young people across racial and ethnic groups were more likely to support Sanders than Clinton in their primary contest, the poll shows.
Young people are largely in agreement that the two major American political parties are lacking when it comes to representing the public.
