⭐️ Democrats’ big enthusiasm bump
— and edge


It’s been evident for a while that Democrats have been injected with huge amounts of enthusiasm since Harris replaced President Joe Biden on the ticket.

Call it “vibes” or something else;
it’s real.

Polls this week reflect that.

While a Monmouth University poll from June showed just 46 percent of Democrats said they were #enthusiastic about a Trump-Biden rematch,
that number has nearly doubled to 🔸85 percent for the Trump-Harris race.

Democrats’ #enthusiasm leapfrogged Republicans,
whose excitement stayed steady at 71 percent.

In other words, 🔸Democrats went from a 25-point enthusiasm deficit to a 14-point advantage,
at least on this specific question.

(Other polls have tested enthusiasm to vote, which is a somewhat different question, and the two parties have been closer.)

Also notable from the Monmouth poll:

♦️Nearly 9 in 10 Democrats say they’re #optimistic about the election,
compared with about three-quarters of Republicans.

And an AP-NORC poll this week showed that 🔸63 percent of Democrats are excited about a potential Harris administration,
compared with 🔸57 percent of Republicans for another Trump administration.
