Pre-Super Tuesday Presidential poll

Hell, if there was no early voting / people actually voted for candidates still in the running, that would have changed more than 175,000 votes.

 

Interesting factoid.
For my state, statewide, Trump got 384,034 votes. Biden/Sanders/Bloomberg combined got 423,150.
Will that translate to November in any way, shape, or form? Probably not. I suspect statewide R primary turnout was low because for all practical purposes, Trump is unopposed. Could it? Possibly, for a variety of reasons. Mainly because many slam dunk Trump voters simply won't be around to vote by November, and the population is booming in the blue areas of the state.

 

FTFY

 

Were there contested down ballot races on the Republican side?

 

In my county and the one next door, there was a Republican primary for tax assessor. Neither county had anything other than the Presidential primary on the Democratic side because no one can win anything running as a Democrat at the local level.
I don't know about across the whole state.

 

A whole bunch of number-crunchers need to take time away from their hobby of making baseball more boring and tunnel into yesterday’s vote.

Are young voters really turning out in appreciably larger numbers to support Bernie? What are his vote counts compared to the last presidential primary? What is the overall level of voter participation in the primaries? Even within the few GOP presidential primaries, is there any sort of protest vote against Trump? In my deep red state (Oklahoma, in which President Obama failed to win a single county in either of the general elections) almost 8 percent of GOP voters chose a fringe GOP candidate other than Trump even though his win was guaranteed and they came to the polls to do it even though there were few referendums on the ballot and GOP turnout was low. Oh, and what was the individual price of each one Bloomberg’s votes.

 

Warren is 70 and just finished third in her home state. Are her Presidential aspirations over or does she run again for 2028?

 

She’s done. I would think that she may want to run the CFPB in a blue administration, but if Gov. Baker is able to make a GOP interim appointment, I doubt it.

 

They won't put a Senate seat at risk unless or until they get control with a couple votes' margin, which is a real long shot at least until '22. But she'll be a pretty powerful voice there.

 

Bye bye Bloomberg
Endorses Uncle Joe

 

if he wants to spend money for the public good, he should buy the Knicks.
