Post-Election Survey: Millennials and The 2016 Presidential Election

Rai Masuda • November 22, 2016
The 2016 Presidential election was arguably the most talked about election ever. In fact, Facebook ranked it the number one topic in December 2015, one entire year before the election actually took place. It is no wonder that so many analysts were fascinated with the role millennials, the largest living generation in the U.S. and primary social media users, played in this year’s election.

Throughout the course of the election we studied the impact it had on millennials and their involvement with social causes. We learned a lot about millennials political views in the second wave of the 2016 Millennial Impact Report, and while it is interesting to see what our respondents were reporting as far as candidates they would vote for and topics they cared about, we found our post-election survey to be the most revealing of all.
