Democrats Are Really Unexcited About Voting This Year, According To This Poll

August 7, 2014

It looks like President Obama’s empty, liberal agenda, and his role as fundraiser-in-chief, are starting to have a serious effect on Democrats’ chances in the fall.

According to a new CBS News poll, the GOP leads among those who admit they are “more enthusiastic than usual” about voting by a whopping seven points, 47-40.

Republicans also hold a sizable lead among voters who say they are equally as enthusiastic about voting as they were in 2012, 14-8.

As the Washington Post points out, “for 2014, it’s not really a question of if the electorate will be worse for Democrats than in 2012, but rather, by how much.”

Maybe President Obama should drop the liberal theatrics, and start focusing on policies that actually create jobs, grow the economy, and deliver results for the American people?

From the Washington Post:

When you drill down on those most excited about voting in the November election, though, it’s a very different story.

Among those who say they are “more enthusiastic” than usual about voting — a little more than one-third of registered voters — the GOP actually leads … by seven points, 47-40…

Key parts of the so-called “Obama coalition” that delivered the presidency to Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012 are historically much more prone to drop off in midterm elections. And for 2014, it’s not really a question of if the electorate will be worse for Democrats than in 2012, but rather, by how much.
