I’m from Connecticut, and, unfortunately, not a chance...
Best news ever.
A bunch of laid off frackers in PA too.
OK, thanks.
Those are my questions too. Also, to anyone: Is this information being extrapolated based on early voters’ party affliation - are registerees able to vote across party lines in those states in the general election?
NJ elected Christie twice. I dont have a lot of hope in that but there was a poll where he was only down six, and that was before ALL this stuff happened.
I think Trump will win Virginia. Here’s why
1. Black votes will not repeat 2008 & 2012 levels.
2. Trump does not scare NoVa metrosexuals like normal GOP candidates do. He is a known commodity to them. Therefore the NoVa Rat_Vote - GOP_Vote will not be as high. I think its possible that it might almost be even.
3. There are strong indications that blue collar rural & semi-rural voters will turn out for Trump in a big way. Many of these voters will be returning voters, people who have given up on the “system” & voting but Trump is bringing them back.
4. Someone already pointed out that he needs only 150,000+ votes to match what Zero did in 2012. I think this will happen.
I live in Connecticut too...what makes you so sure?
Obama only won VA in 2012 by 150,000 votes & that’s with loser no movement Romney!!!
I can’t believe with TRUMP’s movement going against Hillary, we can’t take around 76,000 votes & win VA!!
I agree, all this doom and gloom about Virginia ! Black voting is WAY down and Trump will get more then Romney. I think we have a fighting chance in Virginia !!!
Tim Kaine is a Virginia homey. That will suppress the Trump vote a bit.
If the lack of Hillary signs and support seen/heard throughout neighboringing Massachusetts is any indication, this usual pipedream may not be entirely outside of Trump’s realm of possibility. We did once elect Scott Brown and our share of Republic governors, so miracles do happen.
BS. Romney received more votes in VA than any Rep Presidential candidate in history. He got 100,000 more votes than McCain in 2008 and Bush in 2004. VA is trending to a solid blue state in statewide elections.
I worked in 2012 on GOTV in VA. We broke our backs getting additional voters. The Dems are the beneficiaries of mass immigration and higher minority birthrates. One third of Fairfax County, the largest county in VA, is foreign born. NoVA has one third of the voters in the state. The Dems are well organized, funded well, and they are obsessive fanatics in NoVA.
PA is more achievable than VA. In a few years, VA will be another solid blue state. Demography is destiny.
“...how is Hillary doing compared to Obama?”
Here’s a hint: ‘please clap.’
Just to be clear — early votes aren’t actually tallied other than by party affiliation, is that right? So when they say “Trump is up 100,000 in FL” this means 100,000 more Repubs votes in FL than ‘12, etc. Assuming ALL of those are actual votes for Trump, and assuming there is at least some crossover from Dems and independents, it seems a certainty he takes FL.
Yes?
He is not as well liked as you think. Outside of the Richmond area he is hardly recognized. The only reason he is in office is due to the fact the GOP ran poor candidates. They made gaffes and had no strategy on how to run against the Washington Post, which you have to do when you campaign in NoVa.
Have the early votes actually been counted or is this just the number of registered republicans that voted early this year compared to previous years?
At least Northern VA.
TTTT!
Outside of NoVA, the rest of VA leans red in other words.
