Donald Trump scares millennial women, nearly half are uninspired by their choices for president – and when it comes to dinner with one of the candidates, four in 10 are already booked.
A remarkable 63 percent of women age 18 to 35 in an ABC News/Refinery29 poll say Trump scares them. Nearly half, 47 percent, don’t find any of the presidential candidates inspiring – including the one seeking to become the first female president. And when asked if there are any with whom they’d like to have dinner, another plurality, 39 percent, turns down the offer.
One reason: Half of these women say the candidates are not really discussing issues important to them, a major turn-off in terms of interest, voting intention and dinner arrangements alike. Young black women, in particular, say the campaign has failed to address the issues they care about most.
The national survey, produced for ABC News and Refinery29 by Langer Research Associates, covers a range of political and social concerns, from election issues to views on bias against women to student loan debt.

Young adults in a new Fusion 2016 Issues poll tilt slightly in favor of a federal apology for slavery but broadly oppose monetary reparations for past racial discrimination. Most also think people judge Barack Obama more harshly because he’s black – and more pick Bernie Sanders than Hillary Clinton as likeliest to appoint minorities to positions of power.
Fusion’s latest random-sample national telephone survey of 1,045 18- to 35-year-olds, focused on racial issues, finds differences within racial and ethnic groups in most of these views, marking the extent to which such divisions extend to the younger generation of American adults.
The survey is the latest in a series of polls of millennials produced for the network by Langer Research Associates. Focused on social and political issues of concern to the millennial generation, Fusion’s 2016 Issues Poll will be an ongoing fixture in the election year ahead.
Americans express broad support for initiatives to train and equip first responders and the public to render first aid for bleeding control in mass casualty incidents. Large majorities also say they personally would be likely to give such aid – especially if training and supplies were available.
There are compunctions: Six in 10 or more cite the risk of causing additional pain or injury, being responsible for a bad outcome or exposure to disease as impediments to aiding trauma victims. Yet for many, the desire to help outweighs these concerns.
These results from a national survey for the Hartford Consensus are forthcoming in an article in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons, written by Lenworth M. Jacobs, MD; Karyl J. Burns, RN, Ph.D.; Gary Langer; and Chad Kiewiet de Jonge, Ph.D.
Dr. Jacobs leads the Hartford Consensus, a group of trauma surgeons and other concerned professionals formed after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in Sandy Hook, Connecticut, in December 2012. The group seeks to enhance the survivability of intentional mass casualty events by improving emergency treatment of severe bleeding, one of the leading causes of death in trauma victims.
The survey was produced by Langer Research Associates; the original report is available here.
Gary Langer presented the results at the Hartford Consensus IV meeting on Jan. 8 in Dallas to participants including Kathryn Brinsfield, MD, Assistant Secretary, Health Affairs, of the Department of Homeland Security; Frank Butler, MD, Chairman of the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care at the U.S. Department of Defense Joint Trauma System; Richard Carmona, MD, former Surgeon General of the United States; William Fabbri, MD, Director of Emergency Medical Services for the Federal Bureau of Investigation; David Hoyt, MD, Executive Director of the American College of Surgeons; Andrew Warshaw, MD, immediate Past President of the American College of Surgeons; Jonathan Woodson, MD, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs; and other leaders in the field.
Follow these links for the journal abstract, a news release by the American College of Surgeons and the proceedings of the Hartford Consensus IV. The survey has been reported by several health-related news outlets, including Reuters, U.S. News and World Report and Science Daily.

We’re delighted to announce two staff changes at Langer Research Associates: the promotion of Chad Kiewiet de Jonge, Ph.D., to the position of senior research analyst, and the addition of Sofi Sinozich to our staff as research associate.
An expert in statistical analysis, political and international research and survey methodology, Kiewiet de Jonge has taken a leading role in many of our recent projects, including work on consumer insights, health care and our coverage of public policy and election politics. In addition to his promotion at Langer Research, he recently was named an affiliated professor at the Center for Research and Teaching in Economics (CIDE) in Mexico City, where he worked as an assistant professor of political science before joining us last summer.
Sinozich will graduate this spring from Columbia University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science and statistics. She has interned with us since September, with previous internships at the Pew Research Center last summer and the Bureau of Justice Statistics in summer 2014. In her time with us, Sinozich has produced detailed pre-field research, contributed to our analysis of consumer sentiment and exit polls, meticulously updated our data resources and contributed to questionnaire design.
Thanks and congratulations to Chad and Sofi alike!
