Gallup Polling reports:
Americans’ enthusiasm about voting in this year’s election has surged in recent months, with 69% of U.S. adults now saying they are “more enthusiastic than usual” about voting. This is up from 54% in March. Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents are largely driving the surge in enthusiasm nationally. In March, 55% of Democrats and Democratic leaners said they were more enthusiastic than usual about voting; now, 78% are.
Republicans and Republican leaners, who held a slight edge in enthusiasm in March, now trail Democrats by a significant margin, with their current 64% enthusiasm score up slightly from 59% in the spring. Democrats’ current level of enthusiasm is one percentage point shy of the group’s high in Gallup’s trend since 2000. That was the 79% measured in February 2008, when Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were engaged in a spirited battle for the party’s presidential nomination.

Since @VP @KamalaHarris got into the race, enthusiasm among Dems is near an all time high — equal to 2008 when @BarackObama ran and 14+ points higher than Republicans. This is a BFD. @KamalaHQ has a superior state field operation to turn this to voteshttps://t.co/mRz5KgjHHq pic.twitter.com/NIYPpkFntw
