WHAT IS DROP-OFF? Drop-off is not a formal term, as far as we know. It refers to the difference between the votes for the President and the next down-ballot race. For this study, we calculated the drop-off, for the 2024 presidential election, both in raw numbers and in percentages for each major party (Democratic and Republican) for 17 states.

These percentages are vastly different on the Republican and Democratic side. The drop-off on the Republican side is very high - in some swing states it averages close to 10%. Meaning close to 10% of Republican Presidential voters did not vote for a Republican Senate candidate. In Ohio the Republican drop-off is over 10%. In Rockland County New York the Republican drop-off rate is 23%.

The Democratic drop-off by contrast is low in most states we examined and actually in negative territory in more than half of this data set. In Arizona, North Carolina and Ohio, the Democratic drop-off is -5%, or lower. That means that according to these results 5% or more of democratic leaning voters, chose to vote for the Democratic Senate candidate, but decided not to vote for the Democratic candidate for president. In Arizona for example there is an almost 16% spread between the Republican and the Democratic drop-off.

If these numbers are real,
That is very strange and hard to believe--
That tons of Republicans voted for president only, tons of Democrats voted in other races and left the presidential vote blank.
Really?
And the real fishy thing is that it's only like that in the swing states.
What the actual fuck?
Tell me this data is wrong...? It's made up by someone looking for clickbait?
But don't tell me it's correct and there is some logical explanation that many Dems left the presidential vote blank and only in swing states.
Look at the charts on the site....

NEGATIVE DROPOFF ONLY FOR DEMS AND ONLY IN SWING STATES???

That smells like stinky fish to me.

People if this is real it requires further investigation.
