Harris channels Obama with poll showing Democrats’ excitement to vote soaring

Published



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.
