Here's Just How Massive Republicans' Super Tuesday Turnout Was

If voter turnout is any indicator of enthusiasm, this year's GOP voters are way, way more pumped than 2012 voters were. Democrats, meanwhile? Their excitement seems to have dimmed since 2008.

Last night, more than 8.5 million Republicans turned out to vote in the 11 GOP Super Tuesday states that reported results. That suggests far more enthusiasm than the last time Republicans picked a nominee. In those same 11 states in 2012, turnout totaled only around 4.7 million.

That makes this year's turnout in those 11 states 81 percent higher than four years ago.

Contrast that with the Democrats. In the Dems' 11 states reporting results from last night, turnout totaled only around 5.9 million — that's around 2.6 million fewer people than came out in those states 2008, when Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were in the middle of what would would be a long, hard-fought race.

Here's how that looked on a state-by-state basis. Only in Colorado did Democrats exceed their 2008 turnout. On the GOP side, Vermont was the only place with lower turnout than in 2012.

While I'm not surprised the Democrat turnout is low, I'm not underestimating their power and brilliance using social media.

And Zuckerberg (Facebook creator) is a Democrat and Obama fan who has been in the White House more days than Jimmy Carter.

You're going to see a coordinated get-out-the-vote blitz.

Wow, Virginia GOP voters increased almost 300%...

This is great for the GOP and the anti-Trumpers need to at least acknowledge that and welcome it.

Never.
They are so invested in saving their precious elites that there is nothing Trump could do, directly or indirectly, that would cause the anti-Trump crowd to waver.

We know that a  lot of Dems crossed over and voted in R primaries in open primary states.  Just one little factoid to keep in mind.

Regardless, the numbers are impressive.

Voter turnout....the dem base hasn't come out but you can bet teamobama will have more than enough invaders in country so they can make up for it. I have noticed articles of late that they are really letting anyone in now, more than before.  teamobama is going to do whatever he can to keep the WH.

Yes, an important point to keep in mind.  Voter fraud will be rampant.
