Just for reference, the voter turnout percentage in 2012 was 54.87% and 58.23% in 2008.
Here is an interesting table:
Trump will inspire Latinos and Asians to turnout against him at record levels.
I could see Latino turnout rising from 48% to 56%.
Trump will also inspire working-class Rust Belt whites to turnout towards him at record levels.
More people are also following this election then ever before. I know so many people who usually never follow politics that are following the election this year because of Donald Trump. Trump has gotten so many people interested in politics. Politics used to be boring until Trump came along. Trump has turned this election to a reality TV show. The turnout rate will rise drastically because of this.
Trump and Hillary are also incredibly unpopular amongst the voting population. Many people are disgusted with both of them. Many will stay home as a result.
Overall, I think that voter turnout will drastically increase.
I think that the turnout rate will be around 59-60% percent.
What do you guys think?
