WASHINGTON — Liane Golightly has finally decided who she'll vote for on Election Day. Hillary Clinton is not a choice the 30-year-old Republican would have predicted, nor one that excites her. But the former supporter of Ohio Gov. John Kasich says it's the only choice she can make.

"I kind of wish it were somebody else, somebody that I could really get behind 100 percent," said Golightly, an educator from Monroe, Michigan. She's voting for Clinton, she said, only because she can't stomach "childish" Donald Trump.

Like Golightly, many young voters are coming over to Clinton in the closing stretch of the 2016 campaign, according to a new GenForward poll of Americans 18 to 30.

Driving the shift are white voters, who were divided between the two candidates just a month ago and were more likely to support GOP nominee Mitt Romney than President Barack Obama in 2012.

1. This delights me so much.

I know some younger people who supported Bernie Sanders & are now voting for Hillary Clinton. I understand their frustrations and am glad they're voting liberal.

I hope they carry forward their involvement and we really get a lot more action on reducing inequality and seriously reforming the criminal justice system. In every state and local and midterm election. Elections matter!

Thank you for this great news applegrove. Have a good evening.

2. I know. I'm really happy the young are in. You are most welcome. But no need to thank.

Sourcing articles empowers me.
