(Reuters) - Democrats are off to a stronger than expected start in early voting despite months of dire predictions about their lack of enthusiasm for the November 2 midterm elections.
More Democrats than Republicans cast early ballots in a handful of key states, although more Republicans took advantage of the early voting process than in 2008 when President Barack Obama led a Democratic election sweep.
"The early voting numbers are favorable for Democrats, but here's the caution -- they are not as favorable as in 2008," said Michael McDonald, a George Mason University professor who tracks early voting statistics around the country.
While it is impossible to know who they voted for, more Democrats than Republicans cast early ballots in Louisiana, Iowa, Maryland, North Carolina and West Virginia. Democrats have a voter registration advantage -- and a larger pool of voters to draw from -- in each of those states.
Republicans have a big lead in early voting in the battleground state of Florida and a smaller edge in Colorado, and they sharply improved their early voting performance in states like Iowa and Louisiana.

I’ll keep sayin’ it.
The conservatives are at work!!!!!
We’ll see what the polls say on the 2nd.
I believe nothing emanating from al-Reuters.
Consider the source.
Quoting raw Rat totals in states with big Rat enrollment advantages is a waste of time.

That pretty much sums up the Democrat Party and its ‘Big Tent’......Muslims, Homosexuals, Man-haters, Athiests, Abortionists, America Haters, Whitey Haters, Freedom Haters, USERS, LOSERS and MOOCHERS.....A particularly proud bunch of outstanding ‘citizens’.
One minute the GOP is doing great, the next minute the commie dems are doing well.
Argh, which is it?
How many Dims are going to cross the lines and vote for a more conservative as opposed to a GOPer crossing the line to vote for an Obamacare voter?
If they are making predictions upon party membership I think the MSM is going to be shocked.
Any word on how the Dead Democrats’ voters are breaking?
You have to read between the lines to get the real picture: While Democrats have retained the lead in early voting in a few important states, they have almost uniformly lost early voting percentages in MOST states when compared with 2008. Some states have seen over a 25% flip in the direction of the GOP. Take heart!
Predict a Democrat landslide!
You will not get the truth on your question - at least not now. They are going through their last minute demoralization drills right now. Just don’t forget to drag yourself to the polls and vote your heart.
Probably because they’re stuffing the votes with illegals or dead people again.
Exactly, it's the delta between now and previuos elections.
Reuters...nuff said.
They will lie, obfuscate, prognosticate and humiliate right up till the end - Just like Baghdad Bob....
Remembering (barely) how my grandfather said HST was “dead meat” against Dewey, it is always good to remember that it ain’t over till it’s over.
