Quote from AK Forty Seven:
Just to remind readers, the 2008 turnout split from exit polls showed a 39/32/29 split, and that was considered a nadir for Republican turnout. In the 2010 midterms, the split was 35/35/30.
Democrats usually have lower turnout in non presidential elections.Going from 39 % in a presidential election to 35 % in a non presidential election isnt unusual at all jem,its the norm
