Gallup: Democratic Enthusiasm Spikes In Swing States, Nationwide

Enthusiasm among Democrats nationwide and in 12 key battlegrounds has grown considerably since the beginning of the summer, according to a new poll from Gallup released Thursday.

The poll shows that 68 percent of Democratic voters nationwide are now either "extremely" or "very" enthusiastic about participating in this year's election, up from 49 percent in June. Republicans have seen a smaller uptick in enthusiasm levels, going from 52 percent who were enthusiastic in June to 62 percent in Thursday's poll. A poll from Pew Research Center on Wednesday also showed Democrats narrowing the enthusiasm edge claimed by Republicans for much of the campaign.

The story is much the same in a dozen swing states, where 53 percent of Democratic voters were enthusiastic about this year's election in June. Today, 73 percent of Democrats in those states are enthusiastic about voting, according to Gallup. Republican enthusiasm in the swing states ticked up 9 points since June to 64 percent.

4. Now you did it.

First you win all adults polled.

Then you win all registered voters polled.

Then you win all likely voters polled.

Now you win the enthusiasm poll.

So the media will have to come up with something else.

5. No, it doesn't work that way with Gallup

Obama winning on every score, Democratic enthusiasm up, Mitt in a shit storm, all good news for Mitt.

Today Gallup's tracking shows a tie, and Obama's approval rating dropped four points from a few days ago.

Except for Obama's convention bounce, everything is good news for Mitt.
