2016 General Election Voter Turnout

[Progressive]

I've heard some people suggest that it may be greatest turnout in recent history, and others, who suggest that because of the lack of popularity and "inevitability factor," turnout might be the lowest. I think it will be high.

For comparison:

2012: 57.5
2008: 62.3
2004: 60.4
2000: 54.2

[Green Line]

53-54.

[Progressive]

53-54.

This result, I assume, would be bad for Clinton?

[Senator Spark]

51-53

[Green Line]

Who knows

[Flake]

63%

[Progressive]

I've been thinking 65% because both sides seem so angry and ready to "fight," but it may be wishful thinking.

I think most Americans are rolling their eyes at both campaigns right now.  Turnout is going to drop.

[Antonio the Sixth]

I'd guess about the same as 2012. Black turnout should go down, but Hispanic turnout should go up (hopefully waaay up). Not sure about white turnout, perhaps slightly up.

I couldn't decide whether this, or people highly motivated to vote against a candidate, would be a bigger factor.  So I split the difference (I'm sure this surprises nobody) and voted 57-59.

Turnout will be high because of all the early voting that's going on,  it's becoming easier than ever to vote.

[Maxwell]

It's going to be high, with the possibility of very high.

Factors to Consider:
-Two unpopular candidates (Whites hate Hillary; We Minorities hate Trump/Whites dislike Trump)
-Early Voting (High in states like North Carolina and Georgia)
-Voter Registration (Especially among Latinos; Among this group the following states have seen huge spikes: CA, CO, FL, GA, AZ, etc.)
-Fear is a motivation factor just like enthusiasm
-You don't have to have enthusiastic supporters to win (See what happened during the Democratic Primaries with crowd sizes, etc.)

My Prediction: 60-70% (Hell, I kind of hope it's higher than 70% in favor of Hillary due to higher minority turnout)

[Maxwell]

I'm going with just a hair below 2008 turnout at 62%.

[hopper]

55%.

[Southern Delegate matthew27]

61%
