Exactly. In Colorado, the “unaffiliated” voters are youngish libs or are recent immigrants from Eastern Red states. Maybe Trump is peeling off voters from that bloc.

That’s funny ...because a couple weeks ago on Fox, he said that she would win be 10%.

The Dems are scared here. I have two kids registered unaffiliated at my address and we voted last night. We had a Dem doorknocker yesterday and I lost track of how many phone calls. I’ve never seen anything like it. Plus, Hillary started ad buys about a week ago. Their internal polls must be scary.

Seriously doubt it. On election day Trump has a 9 point advantage according to ABC and Rassmussen.

What do you think about the possibility that there could be a substantial amount of Democrats voting for Trump?

There is NO enthusiasm for Hillary here in Colorado. I mean absolutely NONE!

I have seen 1 bumper sticker for her, and I’ve been looking hard for six weeks.

Have two polls that show Trump is +7 with crossovers in NM and Nationally ...

Usually about 10% crossover, in both directions.

It’s a very powerful number because it’s a lost vote for one side and gained for other. So a 1 or 2% advantage for whichever side is multiplied by the total number of votes of both those two parties to erode or increase a lead.

Context is everything.

The EV numbers are *not* as good as they were in 2012. As of just before election day in 2012 Republicans led 37% to 35% in ballots returned in Colorado.

Bonzo ended up winning 51-46 over Mittens, so Rat turnout swamped the good guys on election day and overcame that tiny advantage which is even tinier this year.

This year, apparently more EV ballots were cast, FWTW.

I’m not one for government control freakery but I fail to see why any official is permitted to announce results that can and do sway results or subsequent voting patterns.

Actually it’s not necessarily the case that election day turnout favored the Rats — it’s more likely that, as someone above suspected, indies in Colorado broke hard left as you would expect them to.

Unless the indies really did an about-face in 2016 from 2012, those people who are blathering about how Hillary is “definitely” losing Colorado are going to be sad puppies in 36 hours.

Trump has a slightly better chance in NM or NV than he does in CO.

Won’t happen this year, this year the GOP will overwhelm the Democrats on voting day.
