EARLY VOTING RESULTS


Alaska, Florida, Kentucky and Nevada are the only states so far who have released a final official count. A handful of states haven't updated their voter registration totals for public viewing since the primaries. These figures will all be released to the public in the next few days.

The number of registered voters for this year's presidential election is 15.4% higher than for the 2004 presidential election (so far), or 180,281,534 registered voters. Turnout among registered voters in 2004 was roughly 70%, or about 122 million votes. Turnout rates are expected to be even higher this year, and some are estimating it at 77%. I am projecting approximately 139 million votes this year.






Below is a look at just the swing states from the above tables. The number of registered voters in the swing states for this year's presidential election is 25.6% higher than in 2004.





Obama is leading in the swing states as a whole by roughly 50% to 43% (see graph below) with only nine days remaining until the election.
