There is not a great deal of enthusiasm among young U.S. Democrats for their party's presidential nominee Hillary Clinton this year, a new poll said on Monday.
Only 38 percent of Democrats and those who lean towards the Democratic Party between the ages of 18 and 39 are pleased that Clinton is the nominee, according to the Gallup poll.
By contrast, one in third of Democrats and Democrat-leaners over the age of 40 are satisfied with the former U.S. secretary of state as the party's standard bearer.
The poll came at a time when Clinton was scrambling to win over support of young voters after a bruised primary season.
While Clinton won overwhelmingly among older voters, her rival in the nomination race Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont dominated her among younger voters.
According to a recent study by Tufts University, more than 2 million young voters cast ballots for Sanders in 21 U.S. states by June 1 while roughly 760,000 young voters voted for Clinton.
Meanwhile, the Gallup poll also found that nonwhite Democrats are more likely than non-Hispanic white Democrats to feel satisfied with Clinton as the nominee, with the latter group exceeding the former one by 20 percent.
Overall, 56 percent of Democrats and Democrat-leaners say they are pleased with Clinton as the nominee while 42 percent think otherwise.
