As we enter almost a week of in-person absentee (early) voting in North Carolina, the combination of both in-person and mail-in ballots is getting very close to one million total absentee ballots cast in the Old North State.

Things trending well in North Carolina. Feel free to peruse and offer insights. Unaffiliated way up. AA vote down. D and R votes down similar amounts from 2012. Unaffiliated demographics (80% white; 10% AA; 10% unknown)

Actually, he states that for the combined absentee and early vote, Republicans are at their 2012 levels and Democrats are down 10% and indies are way up. African-Americans are down a lot. If this trend continues, we might be able to call North Carolina even before election day.

Yes my bad. Thanks for that catch.

Polls showing Clinton up big in NC are laughable.

Romney carried easy in 12.. Obama squeeked a 20k victory in 08 most likely via fraud.

Claiming its hillary by 7 there is idiotic

What about VA or PA

We need one of these!!!

[Smittie]

What happened to the poll that stated that the Hildabeast had 63% of the early voting in NC?

[Ravi]

probably poll garbage

[dp0622]

we don’t. We need Nevada Florida Ohio Colorado Iowa and New Hampshire.

NC is becoming a little more liberal but there’s still many Democrats from back in the day that vote Republican here. I think all is ok here given the early vote #s.

[SandRat]

Does NC have that many LIVING RESEDENTS?

[KavMan]

Can we get CO & NH??

I will let you know on the 9th :)

“D and R votes down similar amounts from 2012.”

Actually, this is the conclusion I came to when reading the article.

What did I miss?

re-checking that is correct. There are 925,000 early total votes out there (about 812,000 have been cast). Based on the total number 925,000, D and R down equal amounts and Unaffiliated up.

Uh OH!...Republican total cumulative EV ballot slope is greater than in 2012, while Dem slope is down from 2012!! Trump will take NC if this continues....

I'd look at the slope to predict near future..you can see a steeper slope for R, more shallow for D.
