Voting enthusiasm way up since Harris replaces Biden, poll shows
Americans, driven by a Democratic surge, are the most enthusiastic about the presidential election in 24 years of Gallup polling.
Why it matters: November's election between Vice President Harris and former President Trump will be close, by polling indications, and could come down to the battleground states.
The latest: Among 1,015 adults polled recently, 69% said they were "more enthusiastic" about voting than usual. That's up from 54% in March, the Gallup poll released Thursday shows.
Democrats' enthusiasm score is one point shy of the party's high — 79% in February 2008, during the Clinton-Obama primary. The group's score, which includes Democratic-leaning participants, was 55% in March.
The score for Republicans and GOP-leaning participants is at 64%, up from 59% in the spring.
