I've been reading a lot about the Gallup likely voter screen and how the only way it makes sense is if Mitt Romney has a 20+ point lead in the south. While that number sounds really high it actually could make sense when asking people if they are likely to vote. If you are a democrat living in say Alabama, Missisipi, Texas, Arkansas etc...and you know your states are solid red regardless of whether or not you vote are you really all that likely to go out and vote on election day? Personally, unless there was a close race downballot somewhere, I would have a hard time justifying missing work to go out and vote when you know there is 0 chance of Obama carrying your state. So if someone called me and asked me as a Democrat in a dixie red state if I was likely to vote on election day, I'd probably say no. Thoughts?
