Republican Enthusiasm Issue is Real (Disclaimer: PPP = Democratic Polling)

The paltry turnout in the Republican Presidential contests over the last week reflects what we've seen in our recent national polling: Democrats are now more excited about voting this fall than Republicans are, reversing the enthusiasm gap that plagued the party in 2010.

Our last national survey for Daily Kos found that 58% of Democrats were 'very excited' about voting this fall, compared to 54% of Republicans. Six months ago the figures were 48% of Democrats 'very excited' and Republicans at the same 54%. Generally you would expect voters to get more excited as the election gets nearer. That trend is occurring on the Democratic side, but not for the GOP.

"Our last national survey for Daily Kos found that 58% of Democrats were 'very excited' about voting this fall, compared to 54% of Republicans."

Anyone doing polling for Daily Kos is about as trustworthy as Daily Kos...which is saying something even in today's dishonest media climate.

Besides, all it takes to get liberals "very excited" is for their thought controllers to tell them to be.

Another entitlement promise of a new shiny object will do it every time.
