PRESIDENT Donald Trump has a dramatically more enthusiastic voter fan base than Joe Biden, according to a new poll. But the presumptive Democratic nominee still leads, nationally, benefiting from a deep desire among his supporters to get Trump out of office.
The national survey, conducted by SSRS for CNN, found that 7 in 10 Trump voters are voting to reelect the president primarily because they support Trump, with 27% saying their decision is a vote against Biden. The former vice president, meanwhile, has a less-devoted following, with 37% of Biden voters saying they plan to cast a pro-Biden vote, and 60% saying they are casting a ballot against Trump.
Overall, the poll shows Biden with a commanding, 14-point lead over Trump, with Biden getting 55% support, compared to 41% for Trump. The advantage is bigger than in other national polls. (An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Sunday has Biden ahead by 7 percentage points, 49% to 42%.) But the CNN survey is notable because it has Biden breaking the 50% mark – something Trump's 2016 opponent, Hillary Clinton, failed to do during that campaign even when she was leading in national polls.
Still, the enthusiasm gap is potentially troubling for Biden, who early Saturday officially secured the number of delegates needed for the Democratic nomination. The former vice president has been hampered throughout his campaign by a lack of excitement among young voters, many of whom preferred progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont in the primaries.
With the nation highly polarized along political lines, turnout can make a determinate difference in the election. In Michigan, for example, Clinton lost by just three-tenths of a percentage point (47.3% to 47%), and Democratic operatives grumbled that lower turnout from the party base made the difference.
And in 2012, it was the candidate with the higher enthusiasm among his base – former President Barack Obama – who prevailed. Polling by CNN that year showed that by the week of the election, 80% of Obama voters were motivated by reelecting the president, while 18% of them were casting a ballot against GOP candidate Mitt Romney.
Call it underwhelmed.
They call her “landslide Hillary”:

Real Democratic insiders know Biden is walking dead despite the fake polls—the only question is what are they going to do about it.
Which name will Biden get: Sleepy Joe, Quid Pro Joe, or what?
“And in 2012, it was the candidate with the higher enthusiasm among his base – former President Barack Obama – who prevailed.”

fUNNY. The enthusiasm rate in 2016 for Trump measured HIGHER than obama in 2008 and 2012, based on analytics. Yet they did not mention that in this biased article.
His enthusiasm gap matches his synapse gaps. A mile wide and misfiring.
Biden faces a gap between his ears. He is creepy and smarmy, and cannot complete thoughts, how the h3ll could be run a nation?
I think democrat voters hope deep down that ultimately Biden won’t be the nominee come November. . .it’s an anyone but Trump movement. Keep praying for God’s Will . . .God’s intervention in these troubling times.
The insane Left has no real reporting. It’s a bunch of crap.
wait til he choses a VP. he may not last his term.
Call it a CNN Fake News Hopium poll! Move on and ignore it everyone.
Diamond and Silk’s “Jim Crow Joe” is a personal favorite of mine.
Which is why the need for mail it in voting.
The issue is this election is voter fraud and the left is going to be working OVERTIME to make this happen along with dragging every single black to the polls in places like Philly and Detroit where lack of interest in Hillary in those places made them stay home and cost her PA and MI.
Because of demographics now in this country it’s not going to be easy to get the EC votes again this time around with them being ready to win. Last time they thought “ah Trump is toast” and didn’t have their cheat machine well oiled.
This time..it’s going to take MASSIVE ...I MEAN MASSIVE turn out in the red areas of NC, PA, WI, OH, FL to win.
What poll is this that shows Trump behind a senile old man? If you look carefully, you can see the puppet strings extending from Biden’s shoulders!
Enthusiasm gap?
Stacey Abrams is back in the hunt?
Polls
Hillary Clinton Could Be Headed for a Landslide
A slate of new polls shows Clinton on pace to decimate Trump.
A dementia afflicted fool who has spent the last two months in his basement and thinks 10 to 15 % of the American people are ‘’no good’’ is 14 points ahead of Trump?. This is what smoking crack does to someone who thinks they’re a ‘’journalist’’.
