So: What has turnout been like so far? What do those numbers mean for November? Are Democrats on pace to mobilize record numbers of voters — or is it time to freak out?
For the Democrats, the story is less rosy. Historic turnout in the 2018 midterm elections and several special elections since Trump took office has not yet translated into similar outpourings of voter energy in the first four primaries and caucuses. Political scientists and voting experts tellthat the turnout so far is good but not great. In several states more people voted, or a higher share of the voting-eligible population voted, than did four years ago.
One reason for that, he says, is that the 2020 Democratic primary doesn’t have the same history-making feel to it. Twelve years ago, Democrats had a clear choice between nominating the first African American candidate or the first woman candidate. The size of the field could also have a dampening effect as Democrats struggle to decide which candidate to support. “The historic nature isn’t there,” McDonald says.
“That’s a strong contrast with Obama’s turnout in 2008 where there was a huge swell of new voters who came out,” says Barry Burden, the University of Wisconsin political scientist. “The number of young voters is not up as a share of Democratic voters. If they want to see a really high turnout in November, they’re gonna need to turn out young voters in high numbers. At least in the primaries and caucuses, there hasn’t been so much of that.
He will CRUSH who ever comes out of the democratic side. And I thought Bloomberg had a chance ...ha
Maybe you missed Super Tuesday’s biggest revelation. Record turn out for Dems, especially black voters. Tired of a corrupt fraud in the WH. Don’t see a socialist as the answer
Because the democrats policies suck!! Hell, that whole party now sucks!! Now they have two old politicians running and neither are gonna win. It won’t even be close.
Tell it to millennial Bernie supporters - turned out low so far. I’ll vote for Bernie but needs African American support and young people to turn out. Can’t beat Trump without them.
Poor old Joe doesn't even know what day it is most of the time, not to mention he thinks he's running for the Senate. 😂
DNC is
Only Bernie has a shot.
They have a commie problem. The party needs to end. BANDEMOCRATSNOTGUNS
