President Obama still inspires more enthusiasm than former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, but the gap is shrinking.
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds that 91 percent of Obama voters are enthusiastic, compared with 85 percent of Romney supporters.
That gap widens when you look at the “very enthusiastic.” Fifty-one percent of Obama backers are very enthusiastic, compared to 38 percent of Romney backers.
When we asked the same question in May, the same 51 percent of Obama fans said they were very enthusiastic, but only 26 percent of Romney supporters said the same. Overall, in May, 93 percent of Obama supporters said they were enthusiastic compared to 75 percent of Romney supporters.
At about this point in the 2004 campaign, 90 percent of George W. Bush supporters were enthusiastic about him, ditto for John Kerry supporters. But among the very enthusiastic, the gap was greater — 49 percent for Bush compared to 41 percent for Kerry...

Remembering... this is the poll that surveyed a sampling of +9 democrats.

Da Obama votas are still thinking’ he’ll send cash from his stash....
Romney had better get a clue pretty damn quick... the ONLY enthusiasm there is in this race is for the repeal of Obamacare.
70% of the GOP primary voters wanted SOMEONE ELSE other than “Mitt” and he needs to remember that
ITR is NOT about him, it is about REPEAL

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. “ Pres. Ronald Reagan
Do you want to ensure that our freedom is extinct by leaving Obama to win the nomination? Or would you rather buy our country time to give us a fighting chance to try to save the ship? Pretty simple answer to me.
I am sad to see that you are still working so hard for Obama.
I’m excited to vote for Richard Mourdock - Tea Party endorsed candidate for US Senate in Indiana.
Mitty will be a throw in.
To me Mormon over Muslim is a no-brainer.
Glad to see Dio has checked in.
Your hatred of Romney is loud and clear.
Yet, you always fall short of answering ... WHO do support? Who do you want to see elected as President?
I have a difficult time believing 85% of those leaning towards Romney are actually enthused about the prospect of voting for him.
I can see why people would hold their noses and pull the lever out of disgust with 0, but being happy about it?
It is NOT about people who have dreamt of being
POTUS (with or without BC) all their lives.
No. It is about issues. Principles.
