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.

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.
