The News

GOP voters are a lot more excited about voting this year than Democrats, according to Gallup’s latest surveys.

59% of registered Republicans and leaners said they’re more enthusiastic to cast a ballot this year, compared to 35% who are less so. For Democrats, the numbers are closer — 55% to 42%.
