Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the actual 2012 turnout Dem +6?

Yet now we are being told that this year, the turnout will somehow be Dem +8, that even more Democrats will turn out for Crooked Hillary than for Obama? (And even then, she can only hold a two point lead)

I think they are smoking weed.

Also, they are predicting a turnout mix of 39-27-27 (Dem, GOP, Ind). How did this even compare to 2012 actuals? Well according to this the turnout in 2012 was 38-32-29 (Dem, GOP, Ind).

So in essence, the pro-Dem pollsters are trying to get us to swallow the following:

That Democrat turnout (as a percentage) will INCREASE
That GOP turnout will DECREASE
That IND turnout will DECREASE

This poll is utter garbage.

Turnout in 2008 was D +4.6.
Turnout in 2012 was D +1.6.

ALL the polls are using a bad turnout model, some worse than others.

Thanks for the 2012 data. Amazing they think Hillary will generate more turnout than Obama, while Trump will generate less than Romney. The size of Trump’s rallies show otherwise.
