Wasserman thinks turnout will be 150 million plus, shattering all prior elections. You’ll never convince me that’s anything other than fantastic news for the good guys.
It seems that a lot of the people who usually have trouble voting have a much easier time this year.
FYI if anyone else is wondering what this looks like across party affiliation:
It definitely surprised me a bit that enthusiasm increase among R’s was about equal to that of D’s.
dems win in 12, lose in 16 makes no sense given that chart
god that R number, maybe they get to wait 2 hours in line on election day for a change

Every indication is that people simply can’t fucking wait to vote against Donald Trump.

If we remove shifters…enthusiasm gap is Dems +15.
Don’t remove anything, because democracy, enthusiasm gap in Florida today is actually DEM +22.
In 2016 it was GOP +1.
I continue to worry a ton about cheating.
I continue to stand by my prediction of higher turnout than modeled, which I still think means a bluer map if all votes are counted.
A reminder that we already knew the mail vote would favor Dems.
I think one side effect of increased polarization is that many more people on both sides view losing this election in catastrophic terms, so they’re more fired up to vote.
Is he stupid? He could be banking on a rubber band rebound from Trump. He should go for it. What does he have to lose? Either the rebound happens and he rescues the GOP, or the rebound doesn’t happen and he’s in the same spot he’s in now.
Both sides are convinced WAAF if they lose.
Huge TRUMP sign along the front of a ranch off I70. I am sad to report that someone vandalized the sign to remove the T so that it now says RUMP 2020.
Why do you think it’s futile?
i’m not at all convinced that this early voting crush is gonna be as heavily D as normal early/absentee voting years
Romney can go fuck himself with a cactus
If Trump really plans to mess with this he makes a major military strike somewhere a few days before
You’ll never know my real thoughts on that one
i think he would need to do that shit like now, if he’s going to. I think anything he tries to do a few days ahead is going to be too late.
