High Turnout: Advantage Democrats
Here are two things we can safely say about this election:

1. It will be a high-turnout election.

2. High turnout will benefit the Democrats.

Here's how we know it will be a high-turnout election:

First and foremost, this is a very high interest election. Data across a wide range of polls have persistently shown that voters are expressing more interest in this campaign and are following it more closely than they were at comparable points in the 2000 and 1996 campaigns. These indicators suggest that, on the basis of interest alone, voter turnout could be comparable to that in 1992.

And besides high interest, this is an election where there have been high levels of new registrations and voter contact by the "ground games" of both parties. Therefore, not only are voters more interested, they are also more likely to have been provided with the opportunity to mobilize that interest and convert it into voting on election day (or before). This suggests that turnout could potentially surpass that in 1992.
