About 78% of Democratic voters told Gallup’s pollsters that they felt enthusiastic about voting with Harris heading the party ticket, a dramatic leap from the 55% who said the same last March when Biden was the candidate, at a time when misgivings about his age were already commonplace.
GOP voter enthusiasm for Trump in the same period has shown a more modest rise, from 59 to 64%.
“Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents are largely driving the surge in enthusiasm nationally,” Gallup’s Jeffrey M Jones wrote in a commentary explaining the new figures.
Democrats’ current enthusiasm levels, Jones went on, are just one point short of Gallup’s 21st-century high for the group, which was 79% in February 2008 when Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were joined in a battle for the party’s presidential nomination.
