TheSkimm released a report built from the responses of millennial women on Monday ahead of [the first debate](http://time.com/4505999/presidential-debate-hillary-clinton-donald-trump-hofstra/?xid=homepage) between Trump and [Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton](http://motto.time.com/4465032/hillary-clinton-poll-gender/?iid=sr-link1). The study has a relatively small sample size limited to readers of theSkimm’s newsletter. But it does provide some insights into how some millennial women are voting in an election that [some have](http://nymag.com/thecut/2016/02/political-power-single-women-c-v-r.html) said could be [decided by women](http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-04-29/women-may-decide-the-2016-election). [_Follow Motto on Facebook_](https://www.facebook.com/mottoworkplaylive/)_._ According to the study, most millennial women (56%) are backing Clinton, [the first female presidential nominee on a major party ticket](http://motto.time.com/4441371/hillary-clinton-sexist-comments/?iid=sr-link1). Clinton’s support among millennial women isn’t limited to Democrats, with 50% of independents and 17% of Republicans throwing their support behind her. Millennial women who don’t support Clinton aren’t necessarily voting for Trump, who has [come under criticism throughout the campaign for sexist comments](http://motto.time.com/4413319/trump-pence-abortion-2016-election-women/?iid=sr-link4). Only 8% said they’re voting for the New York businessman—the same percentage of respondents who backed Johnson. Twenty-four percent said they’re undecided. But most [millennial women](http://motto.time.com/4375132/women-congress-glass-ceiling/?iid=sr-link1) surveyed will definitely be voting on Nov. 8, with only 3% saying they won’t vote. Only 11% said they are voting because they are excited about their candidate. Instead, 43% say they’re voting because it’s their right and 41% are voting because they specifically don’t want the other candidate to win.
