I think Trump has definitely solidified the Republican base. The question is how are Indies going to swing and how many women who didn't vote are going to vote now because they are so turned off by Trump's behavior.
 But there is also a troubling trend for Democrats, that the GOP is seen as the only choice for white voters by an increasing number of white people. If the GOP can manage to get even a few percentage points more of the white vote, it wipes out any demographic shift. Especially when many Latinos don't bother to vote.

We’ll see if they turnout on Nov 6. Latinos are notoriously hard to poll.

Just voted early (straight ticket D) in PBC. Saw lots of young people and African Americans.

Democrats are going to have a pretty good day today in Florida, looks like super high turnout in the counties that are open.

Yeah it looks pretty crazy, but Reps will have the advantage on ED according to Schale (not sure why). Hopefully Democrats can keep it close on the 6th.

Republicans won the early vote in FL in 2014, so this is a dramatic improvement.

I don’t like that the reps have a larger ED to work with

It's just an assumption. It's still possible that Dems could win ED. I think they won it in 2012.
