Young voters are feeling the "bern."

Senator Bernie Sanders is killin’ it among millennial voters, according to NBC News/SurveyMonkey’s latest weekly tracking poll. Sanders has captured 68% of Democratic voters under 24 years old, while former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has a lonely 26%. Though recent surveys show the Democratic presidential frontrunner, Hillary Clinton, still has a 15-point nationwide edge over the Vermont senator — 52 % to 37%, respectively.

So what’s making the curmudgeon-y senator an unlikely stand out among young voters? It may be that Sanders’s anti-establishment message speaks to their mounting frustrations over income inequality and record-breaking student debt levels.

A USA Today/Rock the Vote poll released Monday also showed Sanders outpacing Clinton 46% to 35% among 18 to 34-year-olds, revealing that Sanders is a match for millennials’ progressive values on issues like climate change, criminal justice reform, and the Syrian refugee crisis. What’s more, a recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll confirmed Sanders’s equality for all message resonates with millennials who responded, in a 60 to 37% margin, that the government should step up to solve the country’s crises instead of relying on the private sector.

Add to this the American Research Group survey released Monday, which shows Sanders has pulled ahead of Clinton in Iowa — the first event to officially kickoff the race to the White House on Feb. 1.

As you may recall, youth support helped deliver President Obama a decisive victory in both the 2008 and 2012 elections. So if Sanders can capitalize on this momentum, he might just stand a fighting chance against Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination. May the best man, or woman, win.
