In July, The Democrats held a +10% voter enthusiasm gap over GOP voters for next month’s midterms. Now, they hold an only +2% enthusiasm lead

NPR reports:

Just over a month away from critical elections across the country, the wide Democratic enthusiasm advantage that has defined the 2018 campaign up to this point has disappeared, according to a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll.

In July, there was a 10-point gap between the number of Democrats and Republicans saying the November elections were "very important." Now, that is down to 2 points, a statistical tie.

Imagine that...

In July, @TheDemocrats held a +10% voter enthusiasm gap over @GOP voters for next month’s midterms.

Now, they hold an only +2% enthusiasm lead.https://t.co/9oQCEklmwF pic.twitter.com/rEDhdVJpKV
