Key takeaway: “The 65% of Democrats saying they will definitely vote is well below their average for the prior four presidential elections (77%), whereas the 76% of Republicans saying they will definitely vote is only a bit lower than their prior average (81%).”

There will be a surplus of worried voters this year, I can promise you that. Many people saw Little Donny become unhinged and that is going to amplify for 6 more weeks as he cracks under pressure.
