AP: Early voting: More good signs for Clinton in key states

This is the kind of great story that cuts through all the polling noise. AP just posted an article about early voting in key swing states. Here are the early voting data points and they are substantially more valuable than any Rasmussen landline poll.

Synopsis: Dems caught up with Rs in Fla--much faster than in 2012. In Nevada, Democrats lead in returned ballots, 46 percent to 35 percent. Colorado Dems lead 40 to 34. (which is ridiculous if you look at 2012) Texas showing a 46% increase in early voting (which is likely due to increased Latino turnout.)

These numbers are awesome and they are, without question, the reason why I haven't jumped off a bridge after watching CNN.

I've pretty much given up on tv news and just stick with the internet. The desire for a horserace or even worse, a don the con presidency for the ratings makes me nauseous. Really appreciate you sharing this important good news.
