It's not just young people who care about climate change, but the different candidates do have differing support by age groups. In our FiveThirtyEight/Ipsos poll, Sanders has by far the most support among young people, though Warren’s supporters also skew younger. And for all his talk on supporting climate change, Steyer’s support is higher among older voters — like Biden, Buttigieg and Klobuchar.
Sanders’s supporters are young, Biden’s are older
