Hillary Clinton is making a concerted effort to improve her standing with younger voters after polling showed her losing support within the demographic to Libertarian Gary Johnson.
'I need you as partners, not just for winning this election, but for driving real change,' she said today at a Temple University event her campaign said would emphasize the 'stakes of the election for millennials.'
