jonah goldberg, mollie hemingwa hemingway, executive director at the institute of politics.ake a look at some of these full screens. the early voting totals you heard from mike, 17 billion. let more people are voting early. this is the nbc data analytics that mike has reference. these are states where the early voting base and affiliation parties, arizona, florida, georgia, montana. those are showing g.o.p. turnout in a place like tennessee, 63-30. when you look at that what you see? >> i see a close election coming our way. i think there is a natural tightening of races that typically happen and the final week. i have a look at in detail. florida is a state and a little bit of about and i've done some work in over the years. if you look at where they are today. where they are heading into today, compared to this .4 years ago and the last midterm. the republicans last time had about a nearly nine-point advantage in the early vote coming into today. right now they have nearly a four-point advantage. that is coming in from today. that shows the democrats are narrowing the earl
