> This morning, Third Way released a report entitled “Independents Day 2012,”  which showcases some never-before-released statistics from battleground states: since 2008, in the 8 battleground states that have partisan voter registration, Independent enrollment is up 254,310, while Democratic enrollment is down 825,708 and Republican enrollment down 378,835. We will be updating these numbers every month.
