The US Presidential election is just a week away, and it looks like the world’s millennials have already picked their winner.
A Tinder survey of users aged between 18 to 34 across 16 countries showed they matched with Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump, as they weighed in on issues like taxes, gun control, immigration, and education. That is, except in Russia, where 71 percent of users said they would vote for Trump – despite 76 percent of them matching with Clinton’s views on the issues.
The ‘Swipe the Vote’ poll surveyed users in the U.S, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, France, Germany, India, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Russia, Spain, and the U.K. It went live on October 26.
57 percent of American users matched with Hillary Clinton and 43 percent matched with Donald Trump, based on the issues alone. 53 percent of people who polled in the United States said they plan to vote for Hillary Clinton, while 47 percent plan to vote for Donald Trump.
Globally, 80 percent of Tinder users matched with Hillary Clinton, and 20 percent matched with Donald Trump, based on the issues. 73 percent of users said they would vote for Clinton and 27 percent would vote for Trump.
