I am not saying we can let up because of this. I am just wondering if one sided polls are going to have lot of republicans stay home?
In our paranoia that the election will be somehow stolen, I have a feeling that the democrats and independents supporting Senator Obama are going to vote. But is there any proof historically that, one sided elections become extremely lopsided due to the low turnout from the underdog?
I was reading this article on huff post. And I saw most of the election turnout "experts" wondering...
"It's driven by 90 percent of the American people thinking the country is on the wrong track," Gans said Friday. "The only question is how many Republicans are not going to show up."
MIT political scientist Adam Berinsky predicted the highest levels since 1968, which he said is still quite impressive given that the polls show this election is not that close and fewer people tend to vote when the race isn't tight.
As I look from the data at this website, I see clear voter % dips in either reelection years / ass-whooping years! I still cant find anything online about party affiliation voting by one-sided races.
Not that it matters much, but was just wondering?
any thoughts?
