The energy and enthusiasm to vote is with the Democrats

We already knew that based on the high turnout at all the No Kings protests.

Washington Post article today:

Energized voters could be key to Democratic victories in midterms, poll finds


Republicans who love Trump and Democrats who loathe him are the most likely to vote, but the latter group is much bigger.


The poll finds 45 percent of Republican voters approve of Trump strongly compared with 83 percent of Democrats who disapprove strongly. More than 8 in 10 voters in each group are certain to vote.

Especially campaigns to divide and demoralize us.

I thought we would elect Harris and Walz.
