From Obama's top FL guy in '08 and '12... early vote ominous for GOP

From Obama's top FL guy in '08 and '12.

That is ominous for GOP


Steve Schale @steveschale
Democrats won every county on I-4 in Florida on day one of early voting. That and more in today's early vote memo: http://steveschale.squarespace.com/blog/2016/10/25/early-voting-in-florida-day-one.html

Here are some interesting places on day one:

Won Duval County by 1,700 votes. Duval hasn't voted for a Democrat for President since Carter, and is one of those places where Trump really needs to run up the score. Dems also won the day in Polk County, an I-4 county that also hasn't voted for a Democrat since Carter.

Won Volusia County by several hundred, again a place that Trump was hoping to build on the gains of Romney in 2012.

And in bellwether county Hillsborough, the only place in Florida to vote for Bush twice and Obama twice, Democrats won by almost 3,000 votes, or roughly 14 points (49-35). By comparison, Democrats have a 7 point advantage in registration.

In fact, Democrats won every county along I-4, plus Pinellas -- including both Republican strongholds Polk and Seminole. The total I-4 vote was 48-33D. Seminole County hasn't voted Democrat in a Presidential election since Truman...

Thanks so much for finding that!
