Related: About this forumIn states where independents can vote in primaries,
Do you think a majority of them will vote in the Democratic or Republican primary? I'm guessing they'll mostly go vote in the Republican primary, but I don't know. What do you think?

I don't think the majority of us here are in a position to evaluate where independents will vote in those states that do have open primaries.

(12,655 posts)4. i picked other. of course it is just speculation,
but i suspect there are both right and left leaning indys. i think it might be close to an even split, but in states that are overly red or blue, it might break one way or the other.
