Vice President Kamala Harris is doing her best former President Barack Obama impression by increasing Democrats’ excitement to vote to levels not seen since 2008.

A Gallup poll released Thursday shows 78% of Democrats and those leaning toward Democrats are more enthusiastic than usual about voting, compared to 64% of Republicans and Republican leaners who said they were more enthusiastic about voting than usual. The survey, which was conducted from Aug. 1-20, is a jump for both Democratic and Republican voters from the March poll, but for Democrats, it was a 23% jump, while for Republicans, it was only a 5% jump.
