Democrats are beating Republicans in voter enthusiasm, even as swing-state polls show tight race
New polling from Gallup shows more Democrats are enthusiastic about voting than Republicans. But it's unclear how much that translates to votes.
With just five days to go until Election Day, Democrats appear to have a significant advantage over Republicans when it comes to voter enthusiasm.
According to new polling from Gallup, 77% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters say they're more enthusiastic about voting than usual, versus 67% of Republicans and GOP-leaning voters who say the same.
That's a slightly higher level of enthusiasmfor Democrats than they had just before the 2008 election, when that same poll found that 76% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters were more enthusiastic than usual about voting. Barack Obama would go on to win that year in an Electoral College landslide.
Doesn't matter. Don't let them make you complacent. Go vote!
Even if you think he'll lose, the House (unless the Dems take it) will very likely try to block certification, force a per-state count instead of a per-delegate count, and punt it it to Supreme Court.
So give as little leeway as possible. The more he loses by the harder his next little coup attempt will be
If only enthusiasm countered the unjustness of voter suppression and the electoral college.
Exactly. I have no doubt Harris will win the popular vote. Unfortunately that's not necessarily good enough to win. And even if she wins, Trump supporters are absolutely not interested in a civilized society.
It's becoming more of a worry in my mind that within my remaining lifetime I will see an uncivilized society in America. So far the majority of people seem to at least scoff at the Jan. 6 actions, and no true movement of insurrection (meaning they are willing to wage war and not back down when confronted with armed resistance, not that Jan. 6 wasn't treason) has seized the country.
The Democrats have to win by enough of a margin that it can’t be taken away from them by a rush of spurious lawsuits aided by partisan judges. If they’ve won a state but invalidating a few batches of votes would undo that, they haven’t actually won it.
Republicans dont even need to win states they lost just to have their results rejected by Congress and the election having no one get to 270. In that case the house votes by state which Republicans win easily.
The new Congress votes tho...we don't know the makeup of it yet.
I just looked at the current polls and it is close. Like, I cannot believe that this many people have watched all of this shit and are still voting for him.
Please go out and vote.
This was the line for early voting in a conversation county. Fuck polls they only call landlines and only fucking boomers have those.
Bet the polls would not be close if they spoke to younger people. No matter vote like it could potentially be your last. Because if Trump wins or cheats and steals this election it will be.
Please believe them when he says he will be a fucking dictator.
Even if they called younger people doubt itd do too much. My friends and myself dont answer unknown numbers.
The 18-29 crowd makes up less than 10% of current early/voting figures. Doesn't matter too much how Trump or Kamala is polling with the younger generation, because just like every election in the past, the younger generation doesn't show up to vote.
Vote, bitches 🤘
The most enthusiastic voter still only gets one vote.
Less enthusiastic voters don't cast votes.
if harris wins this, i want to see her put her fucking heel on the throats of all the fascist traitor swine.
I'm fine with a stern look, a firm handshake, and a full body kick off a 10th story balcony.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO!!! Shit yes.
In my household we have already cast 3 votes for sanity. We can only hope that others are quietly doing the same.
I literally just ignored a poll called (phone even IDd them as Survey) so ... Let's try not to read too much into polls. Instead, vote.
Too bad enthusiasm doesn't pay the bills. We dont need enthusiasm, we need policy that benefits the working class, instead we get jingoistic platitudes
enthusiasm doesn't pay the bills
We don't need your platitudes either
