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.

    I just looked at the current polls and it is close. Like, I cannot believe that this many people have watched all of this shit and are still voting for him.

    Please go out and vote.

      This was the line for early voting in a conversation county. Fuck polls they only call landlines and only fucking boomers have those.

      Bet the polls would not be close if they spoke to younger people. No matter vote like it could potentially be your last. Because if Trump wins or cheats and steals this election it will be.

      Please believe them when he says he will be a fucking dictator.

        The 18-29 crowd makes up less than 10% of current early/voting figures. Doesn’t matter too much how Trump or Kamala is polling with the younger generation, because just like every election in the past, the younger generation doesn’t show up to vote.
