Quintuple OUCH! Primary 'enthusiasm gap' points to November GOP turnout advantage

[teapartysamurai]

Republican candidates enter the final two months of the campaign with an unprecedented 10-point lead on the generic congressional ballot and a categorical edge in what gets people to the polls: enthusiasm.

The GOP has turned out 3 million more voters than Democrats during the primary season so far — reversing the 3 million-vote advantage Democrats enjoyed in 2006, the last midterm year.

The party not holding the White House normally gains seats in Congress during non-presidential election years, but primary turnout to date points to an extensive “enthusiasm gap” that analysts say should have Democrats worried.

Tom Jensen, director of Public Policy Polling, which conducts a variety of state- and national-level surveys, pointed to the upstart Tea Party movement as one motivating factor for Republicans, and noted there is no similar force for Democrats.

“It’s a unifying force for many Republican voters, and it’s generating excitement for voters who would normally be midterm drop-offs,” Jensen said. “In particular, we’re also seeing a lack of excitement among moderate Democrats. They are very important to Democrats in any election, yet they’re one of the least enthusiastic groups this year.”

“Poll after poll confirms what massive GOP primary turnouts in states across the country have shown us, which is that there is a Republican wave growing as we move toward November,” Walsh said. “The only ones who don’t seem to get that are the Democrats in Washington who have arrogantly ignored the voices and concerns of the voters while they’ve been busy maxing out the government credit card and failing to create jobs.”

It's the economy stupid. Democrats and their big government Keysenian ideas have UTTERLY FAILED to do anything about the economy and voters are FED UP.

They have watched as arrogant Democrats ignored them on government healthcare, ignored them on the economy, and they intend to let themselves be heard in November.

I warned people when Obama was elected. I KNOW LIBERALS. They are ARROGANT to their core. I knew once unleashed they were going to let their arrogance get ahead of them, and they would overreach. They did.

November is coming!
