This ought to keep Democrats up late at night. Despite the constant negative press by the liberal media, Republicans are coming off a historic primary season.
Republican turnout was up 62% this year. Democratic turnout was down 21% this year.
Despite her tight race with Socialist Bernie Sanders Hillary Clinton received 1,019,237 fewer votes this year than in 2008.
DEMOCRAT PARTY TURNOUT
** In 2008 there were 38,111,341 Democrat votes in the primary. In 2016 there were 29,939,251 votes. A net decrease of 8,172,090 (-21%).
REPUBLICAN PARTY TURNOUT
** In 2012 there were 19,214,513 Republican votes in the primary. In 2016 there were 31,108,968 votes. A net increase of 11,894,455 (+62%).
Republicans had 1.1 million more primary voters this year than the Democratic party.
These are stunning numbers!
Except absentee ballots havent been counted in the last 4 elections. .................................. Oh, but I thought that only applies to those from the military. :o)
She is not. It is all a pack of BS put up by her criminal enterprise in the MSM.
The whole dam thing is corrupt, from top to bottom.
Good catch - I hadn’t caught that - disappointing -
So - are there any honest stats for THIS year?
Doubt it. She’s lost all white, blue-collar types long ago.
Trump will win big. I won’t call it a landslide because technically you need CA and NY for that, but it will be a very big electoral college victory.
Any Democrat that reregistered to vote for Trump in the Republican Primary was unable to vote in the highly competitive Democrat primary. Hillary-loyal Democrats did not abandon her in the primary. They stayed Democrat and voted for her to block Bernie from defeating her. Any Democrats that actually reregistered are "Trump Democrats" acting in a manner somewhat similar to the "Reagan Democrats."
Doubt it. She has the urban areas of Philadelphia, Cleveland and Norfolk voting in massive numbers in those vital swing states. They will bring those states in.
Also, the hammering of Trump by the media has begin. By the time the election comes around, people will be tired of hearing about how “dangerous” he is and wish him away.
I don’t foresee a Republican president for decades. The Democrats have figured out how to win. There is no way Obama wins in 2012 in a fair election.
Run out like rabid dogs to vote for an unreformed criminal and incompetent bureaucrat. That sounds like a democrat city dweller.
It’s called polls of registered voters, not likely voters. In other words, they would vote for her, if they were excited enough to show up.
This is a huge deal, those kind of numbers will bury Hillary.
Yeah, guess that’s why Trump beat her in OH even while coming in second.
Those “Cleveland” numbers barely gave Zero a win in 2012. A mere flip of 80,000 wins OH for Trump. He’ll get double that flip.
I don’t think the polls take into consideration the “turnout”. IMHO it is based on the percentage of people who are Democrat, Republican, Independent and others and therein lies the problem with the polls.
Trump hasn’t beaten her yet.
“Democrats switched over to vote for Trump. My guess is they will switch back to Hillary.”
Maybe some. However I have heard that a lot of rank and file union members will be voting for Trump against the wishes of the unions.
