Democrats close the enthusiasm gap as Biden improves his standing with base voters

I am tired of all the negative posts from the usual suspects...here is some good news...Enjoy. I still say we keep the House and the Senate...I really think we have a good chance...

Despite the fact that voters from the party out of power usually steamroll midterm elections, Democratic voters are almost equally as engaged this cycle as Republican voters. At the same time, President Joe Biden has improved his standing among key Democratic voting blocs over the past year, according to the final Daily Kos/Civiqs survey of the 2022 cycle.

Among registered voters, 84% said they would "definitely" vote this year, including 83% of Democrats, 89% of Republicans, and 80% of independents.

For Democrats, that's a vast improvement from reports earlier this year suggesting Republicans had a double-digit voter intensity advantage approaching 20 points in some polling.

But the Civiqs survey also revealed that Democratic voters increasingly believe President Biden is doing a better job of delivering on his campaign promises and improving their lives in the process. The survey revisited several questions Civiqs had posed to voters in previous polls, and Democratic respondents—particularly among people of color—have warmed to Biden over the past year.

gospel. I have looked at the internals of polls. There is no effort to measure Roe voters.

I can tell you I was in Krogers looking for pet food & a senior caucasian lady was complaining about the price ($7 more per bag).

I told her it's those greedy republicans jacking prices up.

She got really fired up. Said she doesn't doubt it & wait till young ladies can't get their birth control ...

She assured me she would vote straight Blue to stop this insanity.

It's never wise to judge a person by appearance, but she looked like a person who would be more likely to attend tfg's "rallies" than to make such statements.

Hopefully the truth is sinking in!

But on the flip side, why do you only post good news? I look forward to after the election when there are no more polls to talk about (except maybe GA, if there's a runoff in December).
