...On day 2 of this year's in-person early voting, 49 percent came from registered Democrats, 27 percent from registered Republicans, and 24 percent from registered unaffiliated voters. Cumulatively so far, registered Democrats are 51 percent of the early in-person ballots, registered Republicans are 26 percent, and registered unaffiliated voters are 23 percent. In comparison to the same day in 2012 totals, registered Democrats are down 10 percent, registered Republicans are down 6 percent, and registered unaffiliated voters are up 28 percent.

Independents are going to Trump in DROVES!!!! Trump will n a LANDSLIDE the MSM is going to be investing HEAVILY in Valium stock!!!! HEADS EXPLODING EVERYWHERE!!!!
Evidence of no enthusiasm for the hag, some uncertaintly from Republicans about Trump, but massive evidence that Trump is carrying Independents and unaffiliateds. We’ll have to wait and see if that’s enough for him to win.
The unaffiliated are skewing men too
Many former GOP members dropped their party affiliation because GOPe was in the tank for themselves and big corporations
Well let’s put it this way. Nobody is going to switch to Unaffiliated to vote for Crooked Hillary Clinton.
Huge numbers of Rs are leaving it for I.
But voting for Trump...as will some of the D.
I think it’s safe to say that 95% of thr increase in I will vote Trump.
Unaffiliated = the monster vote. Praying it becomes a Tsunami for Trump.
I’m confused...so the pollsters using the 2012 methology or model are correct and the polls are pretty, not all, but are semi-correct..right? :(
No poll. This is the statistics of in-person ballots received — comparing 2016 ballots received to the ballots received for same day in 2012 (day 2 of early voting).
That doesn’t sound very good, but it’s early and this is an election like no other.
Registered unaffiliated is good for Trump.
I’m no expert, but a landslide by either candidate seems very unlikely.
Few comments on the results thus far in NC: Absentee ballots are a very small % of Republican vote in NC so hard to read much from it being down. However, early voting is a *massive* part of the Democrats vote in the state and being down 10% while Rs only down 6% and independents up massively (and this group has a very good mix for Trump with Men / white) give the advantage to Republicans assuming this trend continues. Add in that AA turnout so far is down, doesn’t lead to very good results for Democrats - again *if* this continues.
Exactly! That’s why my eyes popped out of my head when I read it. I don’t know which way this site leans, but the fact that Dems are underperforming they are down in early in-person, at least by day 2, should be the big headline. A better view of what going on will be on Monday, after we have Saturday of voting, I think. Questions: Is “day 2” of early in person voting this election fall on the same day of the week as “day 2” in 2012? And are the number of days to early in person vote in each cycle also equivalent?
Nevada early voting started.
This guy is tweeting about it: https://twitter.com/RalstonReports
I can’t make sense of it yet and don’t see an article about it.
romney carried nc in 2012?
so the voting so far shows Trump will do better?
