    the general consensus is we'll see record turnout, at least in terms of sheer numbers, this year. for perspective, 2000 had 104M. 2004, 123M.

    assuming a floor of 2004 numbers, how high do you think turnout will be this year?

    The final numbers are in -- and turnout in the 2004 presidential election, it seems, was a bit more impressive than previously believed.

    November 2004 election, a number that translates into the highest turnout -- 60.7 percent -- since 1968.


    I think turn out goes up to 70%...

    The poll should be by percentage of voting age population. Sheer numbers can go up just by there being more people in America now than there was in 2004.
