Summary
New polling reveals a troubling enthusiasm gap ahead of the November midterms, with Trump supporters far more likely to vote than Democrats—85% of MAGA Republicans are definitely voting, compared to just 63% of Democrats. Despite Democratic messaging on affordability and democracy, GOP voters remain energized by cultural issues like immigration and transgender rights, and 81% of Republicans still approve of Trump. While some Democrats hope GOP enthusiasm is fading, the data shows voters who backed Republicans for cultural reasons aren’t likely to switch. Yet, there’s a silver lining: 44% of voters say they’re more likely to back a Democrat, and a majority of disaffected voters plan to support Democrats—offering a glimmer of hope amid the challenges.
