2008 & 2012 NH Primary Turnout Numbers

Last edited Wed Feb 10, 2016, 03:11 AM - Edit history (1)

Here are numbers from the 2008 and 2012 NH primaries which should serve as useful tools to gauge enthusiasm and GE prospects once today's numbers arrive.

2008:
D = 284,090
R = 234,851

2012:
R = 248,475

Hopefully the D numbers will exceed the R numbers by 17% or more like they did in 2008.
