Does "souls to the polls" really increase AA turnout in states like North Carolina and Florida?

The short answer is No. It is all hype, not supported by evidence.

I thought souls to the polls meant dead voters voting democrat regardless of their political affiliation while living.

Is that anything like the carcass to the caucus?

If the electorate is R+4 I’ll eat my MAGA hat....enthusiastically. I’ll settle for the D+3 I’ve been expecting.

Nate sees Iowa, Ohio, Florida going red.

Trying to cling to the idea that NC will save Clinton. It will not.

Those “bitter people, clinging to the NC polls” - to paraphrase Obama.

Imagine if it really got out like the Romney 47% which was played over and over in the MSM. Chances being what they are not everyone will be seeing it. The media is corrupt,

Yup. That explains all the buzzards at the Democratic National Convention.

So that’s what those fliers were for!

I saw them in my neighborhood in Michigan. Oddly in an lefty area that has ironically gentrified most blacks out.

Just a pathetic attempt by white anti-religion dems to pretend like they “care” about what (christian) blacks think only in an election year.

Best we’ve done since exit polling started was R+1 in 2004. I’d be delighted with R+4 but seems unlikely.

So that’s the lifeline for them. GOP voters will not vote for Trump - wow, that really, really reeks of desperation.

Yup, it’s hilarious. My folks live in GSO and me Charlotte. 0 Hillary signs and my parents who go to the biggest church in GSO (Westover) and are involved with mission stuff all over the city say they’ve never seen so much GOTV for a R candidate before - and most of them were Ted Cruz supporters in the primaries.

But 70%? Campaign thinks Rs at MINIMUM will be 85% and privately much higher.

Yes, it may only be 80-82% in CLT, GSO and RAL but the rest of the state it will be 90%+. With AA turnout down 20%, gotta feel great about Trumps chances.

If the NCGOP had gotten behind Trump like they should have (from the moment they knew he would be the nominee) there would have been big numbers for Trump. Blame it all on the NCGOP before Robin Hayes came on- he has done the right thing.

True across much of the country.
