Key Republican Groups More Fired Up to Vote

“Heading into the final week of voting, some of Democrats’ key base voters’ levels of enthusiasm are far below that of Republican-base voter groups,” the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll found.

“While white women with college degrees, who are an important bloc for Democrats, are among the most enthusiastic to vote, Black voters, Latinos and young voters are among the least.”

“At the same time, older voters, Trump voters, white evangelical Christians and rural voters — all key GOP groups — are fired up to vote. Those without college degrees are less enthusiastic about the election, but that’s driven by voters of color without degrees.”

“Notably, showing why midterm elections tend to be base elections, independents are also way down the list when it comes to enthusiasm.”
