DNC analysis shows turnout in Dem primaries up and above GOP's

The DNC released a memo this afternoon showing

  • From 2004 to 2008, for all states for which comparable data was available, Democratic turnout increased by significant margins—no state saw a decrease for Democrats and many states saw turnout increasing by thousands of percentage points.

  • In contrast, comparing 2008 Republican turnout to the last contested Republican primary in 2000, Republican turnout either stayed relatively stagnant or decreased. Sinking turnout throughout the country for Republicans shows the contrast between Democrats and Republicans this primary season.

  • In fact, for the 30 states for which comparable data is available, 27 of them saw more Democratic than Republican voters this year.

    • The memo contains state-by-state tables and more supporting data.
