do you any data what those numbers were going into election day in 2016 ?”
2016 Registered Ds - 4,905,705
2016 Registered Rs - 4,575,277
2016 D total VBM+IPEV - 2,629,812
2016 R total VBM+IPEV - 2,533,362
D turnout excluding Election Day vote = 53.6%
R turnout excluding Election Day vote = 55.3%
Now the turnout numbers are slightly too high for both sides because the 2016 VBM stats include VBM turned in on election day.
But I think the delta in turnout is in the ballpark heading into the election. R up 1.7 points.
Both sides have higher turnout this year.
Ds are performing better than 2016.
I just got an alert from the WSJ that says Biden up nationally by 10.
Rs and Ds seem to be at a draw today.
That looks good for us.
assuming these gaps hold
2020
Dems: 64.3%
GOPers: 64.1%
D +.2
2016
D turnout excluding Election Day vote = 53.6%
R turnout excluding Election Day vote = 55.3%
R+ 1.7 in 2016
less republicans vs dems have voted this year so far
Dems are toast
