A recent Gallup poll reveals a significant surge in enthusiasm among Democrats for the upcoming presidential election, with 78% indicating they are more enthusiastic than usual. This marks a substantial increase from March, when only 55% expressed heightened enthusiasm. The current level of Democratic enthusiasm is just one percentage point shy of the 79% recorded in February 2008, which was the highest since 2000. In contrast, 64% of Republicans report being more enthusiastic about voting. The increase in Democratic enthusiasm is attributed to Kamala Harris replacing Joe Biden atop the ticket.
