Newly released numbers in Florida indicate a head-to-head battle for the state’s 29 electoral votes.
Republicans account for about 654,000, or 41.5 percent of the votes, while Democrats account for 638,000, or 40.5 percent of the votes Tuesday morning, according to Politico Playbook.
Florida Republicans cast 3 percent more ballots than Democrats by absentee mail-in voting in 2o12, according to NBC News. But, by Nov. 1, 2012 (five days before the Nov. 6 election date), fortunes were reversed, with Democrats turning in 3 percent more ballots. With 43 percent of the 4.3 million votes belonging to Democrats, and 40 percent belonging to registered Republicans, the results were unquestionable.
The current 1 percent advantage maintained by Republicans may not hold as in-person voting begins this week. The past two election cycles reveal that while Republicans dominate the absentee-by-mail voting bloc, such advantages are not propelling Republican nominees to a Florida victory.
Republicans cast more votes that Democrats through absentee-by-mail by a margin of 49 to 33 percent, and yet, Arizona Sen. John McCain lost Florida to then-Sen. Barack Obama by almost 3 percent. Obama defeated Romney in Florida during the 2012 election, despite Romney outperforming the president with absentee-by-mail votes.
It is worth noting that in such a turbulent election year, it is hard to determine which percentage of Republicans are supporting the top of the ticket and Republican nominee Donald Trump, and the same can be said about Democrat candidates for public office, including presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, who engaged in a bruising primary battle with insurgent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders....

FOX is unwatchable. All out Hillary is inevitable narrative Trump bash fest.
Quoting from that Address:
"The trade with America alone is now within less than L500,000 of being equal to what this great commercial nation, England, carried on at the beginning of this century with the whole world! If I had taken the largest year of those on your table, it would rather have exceeded. But, it will be said, is not this American trade an unnatural protuberance, that has drawn the juices from the rest of the body? The reverse. It is the very food that has nourished every other part into its present magnitude. Our general trade has been greatly augmented, and augmented more or less in almost every part to which it ever extended; but with this material difference, that of the six millions which in the beginning of the century constituted the whole mass of our export commerce, the Colony trade was but one-twelfth part, it is now (as a part of sixteen millions) considerably more than a third of the whole. This is the relative proportion of the importance of the Colonies at these two periods, and all reasoning concerning our mode of treating them must have this proportion as its basis, or it is a reasoning weak, rotten, and sophistical." - Excerpted, Edmund Burke, "Speech on Conciliation. . . ."Burke attributed all of the magnificent progress in America to what he described as their "spirit of liberty." Just read the speech to find out the qualities to which he attributed that "spirit of liberty."
Today, in America, Hillary likely would place such people into her "basket of deplorables.
Hillary may well be elected two weeks from now, but live to see inauguration day? I rather doubt it.
But Shep Smith just gave the election to Hillary with over 300 EVs.
I know. I’m visiting my parents house where they have Fox News on all the time and it’s horrible having to watch Fox hourly proclaim (sometimes with glee) the demise of the Trump campaign.
I’m resolved to vote for Trump and my family is all doing so. The psy-ops won’t work on me and my family and we will not be demoralized by the media.
Good news would certainly be welcome and I still think there are some turnout surprises that are going to work in Trump’s favor.
Shep has deep, deep psychological problems, not to mention bad eyeliner. All of which makes him a perfect media flack.
Yes, it’s all over!
So I just changed the channel.
“Pollsters used to pride themselves on accuracy and being unbiased.”
Well, at one time they were anyway. Today, I think they are like everyone else, scrambling to scratch the back of the highest bidder. Everyone is on the take these days.
I feel much better knowing that the establishment republican types are vigilant about investigating voter fraud and are dedicated to documenting every reported vote casting anomaly. </sarc>
My sister just voted, near Melbourne, FL.
Said in a text: “Our friend said lines in Coral Springs by Lauderdale are miles long.”
“Miles long” -figuratively.
The key is with Independents.
The GOOD thing is 2 of them are from CA and NY. What sucks is I’m from NY and I voted already and I WANT TO WIN NY!!
But at least those 2 can’t do damage.
The third is a transplant from VA to NY. Dont know where she votes.
Moonbat Media and college pollsters socialistic ideology trumps accuracy in this election, and if the money is right forget the accuracy.
Yes air ! I’m in agreement with that.
FOX has been removed from my DirectTV channel lineup until after the election. The ONLY bits and pieces i ever see are on youtube.
never trumpers are infected with DC disease. They want claim to the issue NOT the solution. Solutions are toxic to DC.
Solutions lead to unemployment.
if the voter fraud becomes so bad these early votes have to be tossed and you have to go back to the polls.
