Voter Turnout 2010

Voter Turnout 2010, If we see over the past turnouts this is not much, Elections officials are reporting participation “average” of voters throughout the state, without back-up lines isolated before noon and the hours of work this morning.

“It appears as a means of support,” spokesman for the State Department said Jennifer Davis late this afternoon.

Turnout could bode well for Light GOP gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott, whose country blocked almost all the 589 rooms at the waterfront Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina election for his party.

Republicans exceeded Democrats in early voting and absent for the first time.

Historically, midterm turnout were significantly lower than in presidential elections, particularly among blacks and
Young voters who were so essential to the success of Obama two years ago.

“I do not know if it was a question of too few resources or they were too late, but I know they are a lot of criticism and many local Democratic candidates are very angry about it,” he said University of South Florida political science professor Susan MacManus.

The largest turnout of voters for the governor’s race was in 1994 when Jeb Bush lost to the late Governor Lawton Chiles of 1.6 percent.

This election was also the closest governor of Florida, a reference that can be exceeded by today’s election that it is a tie going into Election Day.

Exit Polls 2010, People often based on exit polls to predict who will win, but even with the election results of 2010 does not come until later tonight, many times the winner is different than expected.

Almost all television stations and news organizations try to get people talking when they come out to vote, but exit polls often never accurately predict the winner.

The 2010 election result will be a very looked to the Americans that the balance of power in Congress could increase from Democrats to Republicans. 218 If Republicans end up being put in place after the elections today, the change will be given control of the Republicans and make it much harder for Obama to enact his agenda.

The vote in most states does not close until 19 hours.

Exit Polls Massachusetts Senate Race

Exit Polls Massachusetts Senate Race:I’ve been up here for only a day, but it’s hard to detect anything that looks good for Democratic nominee Martha Coakley, the state’s Attorney General.

Her election-eve rally at a gym in a Framingham middle school was three-quarters empty; someone on the campaign had pulled a curtain across the midpoint of the gym, so that it wouldn’t look even worse. (This “packed house” photo of the event by the campaign nothwithstanding.) The candidate came onstage to the “Rocky” theme–an extraordinary choice, given that she at one point had been sitting on a 30-point lead in some polls.

What worries long-time Democrats in the state even more, they tell me, are the other omens they are seeing–not just an accelerating deterioration in the polls, but also yard signs for her opponent, state Senator Scott Brown, in neighborhoods where they had never seen even a stirring of life for the GOP.

All that said, this is a special election, which makes it notoriously unpredictable–and unpollable. The national Democratic party is going full-stop with a get-out-the-vote operation that officials say rivals what they did in the swing states during the presidential contest. It is not out of the question that her party could still pull Coakley over the finish line.

Nonetheless, the recriminations have already begun. Washington blames Coakley, and the deficiencies both in her candidacy and her campaign. But she was not the only one who seemed asleep at the switch here; her defenders tell me that it had been difficult for her to raise money, because no one believed this was much of a race.

I’m convinced that a Democratic loss, if it happens, is a sign of something much larger than the failings of one candidate. In talking to Brown voters, you come away with a sense that this is more about Washington than anything else. Sure, Brown has been a terrific campaigner. But no one I talked to seemed particularly aware of any position he had taken–except that he would be the 41st vote in the Senate to stop the Obama agenda. “Right now, people just don’t want to hear anything the Democrats have to say,” one veteran strategist from the Kennedy operation told me. “They think there is a lot coming out of Washington, and none of it is for them.”

UPDATE: The view from Blue Hill Avenue.

8 a.m. UPDATE: Swampland commenters: I am going to try something that some of you have begged for in situations like this in the past. Instead of writing multiple posts, I am going to just update this one as the day goes on. That way, you too can continue your conversations in one place.

Unless circumstances (or the High Sheriffs) warrant something else…

Meanwhile, I’ve been checking around, and can’t find anyone doing exit polls. That means not only a long night is possible, but also, that we will not have as much data as we might like right away on who voted and why.

Also, you can keep an eye on the Boston weather (an important election day consideration) here. At the moment, there’s what one local weatherman is calling a “fine, steady snow.”

8:23 a.m. UPDATE: Yes, I know it’s early, but so far, my candidate for Most Audacious Spin of the Day is this from Organizing for America:

TS-EX- OBAMA MACHINE — A Democratic official says the DNC’s Organizing for America, at least, is a winner today: “It’s clear, win or lose, OFA has flexed the muscle of the president’s grassroots army. One of the primary reasons the race is even close going into Election Day is the work OFA has done which has brought much of the base home and increased Democratic participation according to polls by double digits. The lesson here is that an engaged Organizing for America can help put a campaign in a position to win. Whether a particular campaign has an infrastructure, the talent and the candidate to put it over the top is another story.” From Saturday through last night, OFA vols across the country made 1.2 million calls into Massachusetts on behalf of Coakley.

So what were they doing while Coakley was blowing a 30-point lead?
