what percent of eligible voters do you think will actually vote?

This is not about either candidate, but how many people you think will actually cast a ballot for President of the United States of America.

personally, I'm looking for 91.3% turnout, which would add to this historic moment in time.

what's your guess?

please no candidate bashing!!

WOW! Bold prediction.

Quite a few (read: many) election experts have been expecting record-breaking voters turnout, so if we are talking about percentage of registered voters, then yes, 90%+ may not be out of way.

Definitely high. My wife got in line yesterday at 10:15am, and left after 4:00 (Before the polls opened until after they had closed)

85%

**stewie** · 11-03-2008, 12:53 PM

74%

**Poohnix** · 11-03-2008, 12:58 PM

.36‰

55% will vote, the other 45% will complain about who won even though the didn't vote.

85%

Are you sure your wife didn't go somewhere else?

just kidding

I believe it's going to be between 60-65%...i predict 62% turnout.

**fab** · 11-03-2008, 03:34 PM

I say 55%.

**BELLC1** · 11-03-2008, 03:37 PM

I don't know why I should bother. Louisiana's electoral votes are already decidely for McCain.

**biggedon** · 11-04-2008, 02:55 PM

big turn-outs being predicted on all major tv stations

some are saying that up to 50% of registered voters in some states , had voted early

I'm intentionally not voting because neither of the 2 candidates represent me, in fact both are destructive to me.

I've acted responsibly and have no kids, but both want to take MORE of my money to support others who had kids, either through planning or irresponsibility.

I've acted responsibly and didn't buy a house when they were overpriced, yet both candidates want to take MY money to prop up those who pumped up the price (locking me out of the market) and force me to pay part of their mortgage and bail out those who made the bogus loans.

Obama's by far the best choice, but too liberal. McCain is more of the same crooked politics and pushing the endless war.

No American should vote today if they don't own real estate and don't have kids, these candidates are strongly against your best interests.
