The Reuters/Ipsos estimate of turnout

Winning the White House depends as much on who comes out to vote as which candidate Americans prefer. Each week, we poll more than 15,000 people, then factor in likely turnout among key demographics to see how voting would play out in the Electoral College. Explore different scenarios. Or read how we did it.
