After a couple of days with Romney as the nominee, those numbers would change dramatically.
Look: you can’t maintain enthusiasm as a constant. For one thing, there needs to be a target. Wait until Aug. / Sept. Enthusiasm will be sky high on our side. Even if the unfortunate fate of Romney befalls us. He will choose a Rubio or other conservative who excites the base as running mate. Obama is toast. He will have none of those idiot indy’s who bought the bamboozlin.
in 2010, the GOP led in enthusiasm by 8 points.
in 2010, the GOP led in enthusiasm by 19 points.
Democrats had a 19 point enthusiasm gap in 2008:

Wake up people, we have ONE chance to right this thing or at the very least stop the death spiral we are in. Vote Republican even if that Rep is a broken lamp. Anyone or anything will be better for America then what we have now. Plus with a Republican wine ANY Rep win we will more then likely take the Senate due to the customary coat tail effect.
By all means support your primary favorite but if you lose, please do not do something as stupid and destructive as staying home. It would make you look like the kid who took is ball and went home because he didn't get the position he wanted on the team.
Gonna need at least 20% to overcome the fraud.
Notice how Gallup seems to try to downplay the GOP voters’ eight point enthusiasm margin by calling it a “slight” lead.
I don’t trust polls.
I’ll see if this remains true in November. That’s the only poll that counts!! Everything else is just BS passing for news.
more previous enthusiasm polls:
“In 2002, 42 percent of Republicans said they were more enthusiastic than usual about the election. Thirty-eight percent of Democrats said the same. In 2006, the numbers have flipped. Republican enthusiasm has dipped to 39 percent and Democratic enthusiasm has jumped to 48 percent. Enthusiasm affects turnout. Gloomy voters are less inclined to vote.”

I will enthusiastically vote against Barack Hussein Obama (mmm mmm mmm) even if the opposition on the Republican side is a box of gravel.
There’s no such thing as bad publicity. The extended primary is free marketing (or marketing at the expense of Wall Street bailout beneficiaries and groupie billionaires). It only stands to reason the primary would increase GOP enthusiasm. The same thing happened with Hillabama 2008. The RNC and elites are just showing more cluelessness in poo-pooing the primary process. Once again they’re showing they’re willing to throw all logic and evidence and desires of the base out the window in their unnatural, unwavering obsession to land the dial on a loser, moderate candidate.
