Hillary Clinton’s campaign is touting some “eye-popping” advantages in early voting, in an apparent effort to energize Democratic voters, but preliminary figures suggest the race remains tighter than her aides acknowledge. The preliminary numbers appear to show Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, with an edge in several of the roughly 10 battleground states that will decide the 2016 White House race. “We're seeing eye-popping vote-by-mail application numbers,” Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said on “Fox News Sunday.”
In Arizona and North Carolina, for example, more registered Democrats than Republicans have indeed cast early ballots.
But such numbers are open to interpretation, including how many Democrats in those two states voted for Clinton.
Meanwhile, early data shows Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump with potential advantages of his own in battleground states Florida, Ohio and elsewhere.

Keep in mind that everything Trump touches turns to Gold or yields or all time record numbers. His debates drew record numbers, his speeches draw record numbers, his rallies draw record numbers, his press conferences, his TV interviews, his reality TV shows, and you can bet the farm that his vote total will be by far the biggest vote total of any Republican candidate including Ronald Reagan. The only way he loses is by rigging. But 1000 percent guarantee he will get the popular vote by a landslide!!
Good to hear. Very encouraging. What are your thoughts in voter fraud in Philly, though? Do you think they could steal it from him?
My parents live in Easton and have a mess of family up in Luzerne County. PA has not only one of the oldest if not oldest population but also one of the whitest and tens of thousands of displaced middle class blue collar workers. Also one of the biggest gun and 2A states. If Trump spent 2 days straight in PA talking guns, NAFTA and TPP along with about $5M in advertising he’d win Pennsy and the presidency.
I enjoy the ritual of going to the polling place on election day.
How does one find out how many ballots were sent in AZ? I can find no information as to the breakdown.
Interesting data. I`m surprised at the low percentage of Hispanic voters. Maybe Winston-Salem is not representitive of the state in general. When I lived there I would guess they were at least10%, maybe more. Mostly foreign born. The majority are probably not citizens.
Dems always hit the early voting stuff early because they bus out the freaks. But numbers are down 10% for them or more depending on the state compared to peak Obama. Indies appear to be up everywhere. The North Carolina numbers I am familiar with (28 percent over 2012?), but I believe I’ve seen the same trend everywhere. Indies outperforming is a good sign for Donald Trump.
My vote won't make any difference in the Electoral Vote count because no more than a third of my fellow Gay Staters will be voting like me.But it will add to DJT's nationwide tally.
All this talk of Clinton having a big lead is BS. If it were true, then there was no reason for her to be in Philly this past weekend.
Earlier today on another thread, someone posted a tweet (from whom I forgot) that Hillary was leaving FL, OH and NC for PA. To me it sounds like Trump has those three states and the Dems are planning for PA to be their firewall. I hope I am right.
Romney won NC by 3 % in 2012.
those stats in 2016 she is screwed !
Yeah, he’s losing by 12. Sure he is lol. What an amazing video.
Trump may be the candidate that puts pollsters out of business for good.
fox
is now back-peddling all the spin that spat out about clinton !
the trump turnout must have Fox worried about looking like suckers .
She passed up FL to go to New Hampshire.
There are more democrats,but they are not in the same numbers as 2012,they are done more than republicans and independents are up big.
Just because they are democrats does not mean they are voting for the beast
If Trump spent 2 days straight in PA talking guns, NAFTA and TPP along with about $5M in advertising he’d win Pennsy and the presidency.
I think its a crack in the dam - only state that has good early #s so far for Ds relative to 2012 is Nevada but still very early there. And AA vote is -25% so far in NC with whites up and MASSIVE independent increase.
she is running scared .
i wonder if fl is lost to her
Big early voting numbers in Nevada. I don’t think anyone really knows how to read them. They could all be early Dems. But I think there will be some crossover Dems from the Bernie camp and I suspect Trump does better in black community than Romney. Just have to suck it up and vote for our lives.
Speaking for me, I vote on election day.
