Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump both have historically high unfavorable ratings (Gallup, FiveThirtyEight), which could lead to a large number of eligible voters staying home on election day - or could motivate them to go to the polls to vote against one candidate. The voting eligible population of the US is estimated by PEW to be around 225 million people (Pew Research Center), a turnout of fewer than 113 million would indicate approximately 50% turnout or less while a turnout of more than 135 million would indicate approximately 60% turnout or greater. For historical turnout rates see: United States Election Project. Thanks to alistaircookie and Jean-Pierre for suggesting this question!
