I think 75% of registered voters will turn out this year. Probably the highest turnout in modern history.
Do you think it will be higher or lower?

Wow, 75% of registered voters seems high. I would say 60%
What was the % for the past few presidential elections?

Last one may have gotten to 50% and I know the one before that was less than 39%.

It should definitely be a very high turnout this year. I think the ratings for the first debate are pretty telling. People might actually care this year. Then again, you do have to get off your couch to vote.

You think so? I'll admit that MAYBE 75% is high but, I would think we would see something in the 60%. This election is WAY to polarized for it not to be a higher turn out.

I heard 43.5 million, compared to 29 million for the VP debate in 2000.HalfPastNoon said:
Pfft. 40% tops. I don't think anything's changed. There seem to be as many undecideds as in the past, so there are probably as many people who don't give a rip. When they start featuring topless dancers at polling stations, you can expect voter turnout to go through the roof. 
PEACE.

It was more than 40% in 2000 and people didn't care until after the fact.
Numbers for past 44 years
I'm betting low 60s, but I wouldn't be very surprised if it were significantly higher.
