For DIYers (like yours truly) who like having poll data available for ad hoc analysis
This is super-exciting. If you go to the RCP website, you'll see the "RCP + AI" button. Signing up (which you should do with whatever email you use for AI) will send you to instructions on how to add a connector that you can then use for research into RCP's poll database.

The 32% cumulative black percentage was the 3rd highest EVER going back to 2008 (only 2020 President/the May 2026 primary were higher). The 176K turnout figure was 3rd highest EVER - only exceeded by 2020/2024 President. (3/)

Guessing turnout is a bit of a stretch from only TWO days, but if you assume that 35% of the total vote will be cast early, that equates to a 45-79% estimated total turnout (JMC is now thinking 40-45% turnout is the current "correct answer" to projected turnout) (4/4)
