More than 150,000 young Republicans voted in Pennsylvania, and 52% of them cast their ballots for Trump, giving him his biggest win among 18 to 29-year-olds in any state so far, according to the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning & Engagement. Trump also landed a victory in Maryland, winning 33% of young voters there in a narrow victory over Ted Cruz. Trump [does not normally have a high level of support](http://time.com/4245204/young-voters-didnt-support-front-runners-on-super-tuesday/?iid=sr-link4) among millennials and neither does Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, who [regularly loses among that age group](http://time.com/4204331/iowa-caucus-results-bernie-sanders-young-voters/?iid=sr-link7) to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. Young voters are [turning out to the polls in unprecedented numbers](http://time.com/4245204/young-voters-didnt-support-front-runners-on-super-tuesday/?iid=sr-link1) this primary season and set records in Maryland and Connecticut on Tuesday, CIRCLE found. But the millennial Democrats did not support Clinton the way their peers supported Trump; Clinton lost with young Democrats in Connecticut, Maryland and Pennsylvania, with Bernie Sanders winning by large margins—83% to 17% in Connecticut, 68% to 29% in Maryland and 83% to 17% in Pennsylvania. (Clinton still won all three states.) While there were five contests on Tuesday, CIRLCE did not collect exit poll data for Rhode Island or Delaware. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4309845/trump-youth-vote-pennsylvania-maryland/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4309845/trump-youth-vote-pennsylvania-maryland/"},"headline":"Donald Trump Won Millennial Vote in Pennsylvania and Maryland","datePublished":"2016-04-27T19:40:13.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T17:05:12.502Z","description":"The Republican frontrunner is starting to win over millennials","url":"https://time.com/4309845/trump-youth-vote-pennsylvania-maryland/","keywords":["2016 Election","Hillary Clinton","2016 Election topic","Pennsylvania","Maryland","Donald Trump","Connecticut","millennial"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt741b944c4b1265f4/698890ee5f570f4c23b20ac9/gettyimages-524632224.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniel White","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/daniel-white/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt741b944c4b1265f4/698890ee5f570f4c23b20ac9/gettyimages-524632224.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Citizens In Five States Vote In Primary Elections","caption":"Citizens In Five States Vote In Primary Elections","creditText":"Jeff Swensen—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/2016-election/","name":"2016 Election"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4309845/trump-youth-vote-pennsylvania-maryland/","name":"Donald Trump Won Millennial Vote in Pennsylvania and Maryland"}}]}] ```
