On top of that, I'm a bit worried that enthusiasm from 2018 could take a hit with the lack of meaningful action from the House Leadership. Not mention Obama was absolutely a special orator. He's a great speaker and kills it campaigning in ways that go beyond policy.
She disagrees with you here as well.
Despite all the talk about a so-called Kavanaugh Effect, which purports that the way Democrats handled the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation process erased what has been 24 months of an enthusiasm advantage for Democrats, there is little evidence that suggests that Republican voters are as riled up as their Democratic Party counterparts, who also outnumber them in a great many places. Although some surveys found an uptick in enthusiasm for Republicans during and after the confirmation process my own polling in Virginia revealed no evidence of a suddenly galvanized electorate. We were in the field before, during, and after the confirmation process. In all 3 of our surveys which were in the field for over a week each, the enthusiasm gap for Democrats we measured last spring remained unchanged: 15pts in VA CD 10, 10pts in VA CD 2, and 16pts in VA CD 7. These three districts each contain unique demographics and represent a wide range of voters. Large turnout is all but sure to advantage Democrats aside from in a few key states, which I will discuss below.
