Early Vote Crack
ByThe numbers:
...one in six likely voters has done the deed, and as many say they will between now and Election Day. Their preference: Obama by a substantial margin.
Seventeen percent now say they’ve already voted, favoring Obama over John McCain by 59-40 percent. An additional 18 percent say they’ll do so before Tuesday, for a possible total of 35 percent voting early or by absentee ballot. That would be a record by far, well above its levels in 2004 and 2000 alike, 22 and 15 percent, respectively.
More data on early vote by state can be found here. Early voting in California seems to be helping the Mormon-funded anti-gay Prop 8.
