Not bad. If this trend holds, Dem registration advantage could be down to less than 700k by Book Closing on October 19th. Their registration advantage was 1.35 million 8 years ago. FYI if you go to the website you have to click on "Voter Registration Statistics by Senate District" or "Voter Registration Statistics by House District" - both give you the same values. You can click on either. If you click on "Voter Registration Statistics by County or by Congressional District," you will get last week's data. They should update the County/Congressional District data by the end of the day so it matches the Senate and House District data. The Senate and House District data is up-to-date. Everyone's thoughts?

Can Democrats say “Lancaster, PA?”

[MNDude]

If I recall, all polls are polling much more dems this year than 2016. Polls are all bunk.

The world didn't end under Trump. In fact thoughtful Independents clearly could see that Trump was doing unbelievably well with the economy. Thus, he'll get even more of the Independents this time around.

PDJT will do better, yes. but remembering just how close (and the amazing efforts by) the D’s got to stealing the election (especially in PA also MI and a couple more states), and all their tricks (fake votes, illegal voters, deceased voters, multiple voting, disqualifying or trashing R ballots, phony counts, SorozNazi certification officials and tons of crooked lawyers to take complaints before communist Obama judges,...etc...)
PDJT and any R needs to win by BIG Margin(s). The game is rigged

If Trump can pull 3M votes I think he should take the state. I’d focus on hitting that number rather than the polls. Obama hit 3.2, I’d be shocked if Biden hits that but that’s the high watermark in PA

I continue to be impressed with R registration gains.

I’ve felt the pandemic has hurt D registration drives - but Rs keep adding to the gain. Doesn’t seem to be hurting Rs.

When this election is over, I think analysts will conclude Biden and the Dems made a major mistake to default to Zoom and the basement.

You need people knocking on doors, signing people up. That takes face-to-face contact.

Yes definitely. Florida this month has been especially brutal for the Democratic voter registration efforts especially in comparison to September 2016. Can’t wait for that update on October 1st.

[FamiliarFace]

If my math is correct, the changes from June 2 to yesterday are as follows:

Democrats: + 37,714
Republicans: + 98,566
Others: +34,979

I think that’s saying a lot about what is happening there. Trump has momentum.

Some good news!

[Ravi]

Correct.
