High Enthusiasm About Voting in U.S. Heading Into 2020

64% are “more enthusiastic” about voting compared with previous elections.

Reports of greater enthusiasm usually higher closer to Election Day.

Partisan gap in reports of enthusiasm for voting unusually narrow. Currently, about two in three Republicans (66%) and Democrats (65%) report being more excited about voting than they were in previous elections. This differs from the typical pattern Gallup has seen over the years, whereby those who identify with the political party of the incumbent president have been less enthusiastic about voting than members of the opposing party. This is true whether that president is running for election or leaving office.
