More than 35 million americans early votes have been counted - well more than the total cast in the 2014 midterms. The NBC news data analytics Lab, using voter file data from TargetSmart, found that 35,526,881 early votes were counted nationwide as of Monday. In states that have early voting, 42 percent of voters are Republican, 41 percent are Democrats, and 17 percent have either independent or have another party affiliation.
Republican-affiliated voters have outpaced Democratic-affiliated voters in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Montana, Tennessee and Texas. In Nevada, Democratic-affiliated voters have outpaced their Republican counterparts.
The total early vote as of Election Day in 2016, a presidential election year when turnout is much higher, was 46,314,207

35 million ballots. There are 1% more "R" voters than "D" voters across all states involved with early voting which includes many deep blue states. We were behind on this metric in 2016 at the same point in time. Another data point to consider moving forward tomorrow.

No guarantee of keeping the House. Senate appears a solid lock.

This is why I believe RATs have NO ADVANTAGE in generic ballot. Without that, it’s gonna be hard to get to 223.

Wasn’t 2010 R+1? What was 2014, anyone recall?

We don’t know if these are pull forward votes and how many Ds are voting for the republican... And vice versa.

NBC must of forgot to add that Democrats were ahead in the 2016 early votes and Clinton won the popular vote...
Im sure they didnt mean to though
To: goldstategop
I remember when Obama lost mid terms. The media was saying mid terms are very hard to predict. They will be dusting that line off again.
