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.

    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

      We don’t need your platitudes either
