人们正以创纪录的数量提前投票。据WRAL报道,在北卡罗来纳州,居民打破了中期选举提前投票投出选票最多的纪录。民主党人的投票参与度尤为强劲。已有超过100万民主党人投票,而共和党人为67.9万。

民主党展示提前投票优势。全美范围内,提前投票的民主党人远多于共和党人。据佛罗里达大学选举实验室数据,民主党人投出了43%的提前选票,共和党人仅投出31%,无党派选民占投票人数的25%。

佛罗里达大学政治学家迈克尔·麦克唐纳对Axios表示,民主党人参与度高于共和党人可能反映了这是一场“对特朗普的公投”。
The greater participation among Democrats than Republicans could reflect a "referendum on Trump", University of Florida political scientist Michael McDonald told Axios.

“即使是坚定的共和党选民,他们看看经济状况,就会说自己对投票并不太热衷,”埃默里大学政治学教授伯纳德·弗拉加对《时代》周刊表示。“从趋势来看,民主党选民的热情和动员程度,远高于共和党选民。”
"Even for steadfast Republican voters, they look at the state of the economy, for example, and say that they're not too enthusiastic about voting," Bernard Fraga, a political science professor at Emory University, told Time. "Reading the trends, it's clear that Democrats are enthusiastic and mobilized to a much greater degree than even the Republican voters."
