Early voting surge suggests Democratic push pays off in Iowa

[cal04]

More than two million Americans have already cast ballots for president less than three weeks before Election Day with a substantial number coming in the battleground state of Iowa.

The state, which holds six key electoral votes, is on pace to exceed the 1.5 million votes cast early in in 2008 -- a trend that is not lost on either political party.

While both parties are investing resources in early voting, Democrats' push to turn out voters -- and in particular young voters in Iowa -- could be paying off.

Early numbers, which are updated daily, show that almost 20% more registered Democrats than registered Republicans have voted so far.
