It was pretty low. It was a very polarized "base" election. With Obama being President for four years and not having the same superstar draw. The same on the the republican side, no superstar like Sarah Palin. Or maybe all the advertising and money spent on this one actually turned people off. It is also possible the hurricane sandy hurt the overall turnout, by driving down turnout in the northeast. Or maybe turnout was up in swing states, and down in the others. Im gonna study it in a couple of weeks, after all the results are in.
