Election showdown - Republicans vs. Democrats vs. Third-Party voters
Posted
and last updated

Everyone's got an opinion. Especially during an election season. 

So we decided to do a little experiment: We invited 12 Democrats, 12 Republicans and 12 third-party voters to answer "yes" or "no" on several politically-charged questions. (Participants were between the ages of 18 and 34, also known as "millennials.") 

Democrats dressed in blue. Republicans dressed in red. And third-party voters dressed in white.

Would they agree on anything? Check out how similar (and different) these three groups are in the video above.

Here are the results:

QUESTION 1: Should Muslims face extra immigration hurdles? 

QUESTION 2: Should the wealthiest Americans have their taxes increased? 

QUESTION 3: Would Donald Trump make a good president? 

QUESTION 4: Would Mike Pence have been a better Republican nominee? 

QUESTION 5: Are you worried this election could be rigged? 

QUESTION 6: Is climate change real? 

QUESTION 7: Would Hillary Clinton make a good president? 

QUESTION 8: Would Bernie Sanders have been a better Democratic nominee?
