53% of voters who are certain to vote want to vote for a dem, only 40% for a Rep.

The 48% includes only voters who voted in 2014, when some of the 53% apparently were too lazy to vote. Some of them have now woken up, it seems, thereby adding 5% for Dems and shrinking Reps by 6%.

Now let's hope those voters keep their "I'm certain to vote!" opinion and won't let Russian Twitter or Facebook trolls convince them that their Dem candidate isn't pure enough or tried to rig whatever or is part of the evil establishment and just the same as the Repub candidate.

Several people pointed out that Dem turnout in 2018 will likely be higher than 2014 CousinIT Nov 2017 #10
I don't either, and for good reasons. One being that 61% plus 49% equals 110%. brush Nov 2017 #19
