Trump voters are not pumped about voting in the midterms, poll finds
WASHINGTON: Voters who backed Democratic former Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024 are far more enthusiastic about casting ballots this November than those who supported President Donald Trump, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found, in a potential warning sign for Republicans heading into the midterm elections.
Washington: Voters who backed Democratic former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election exhibit far greater enthusiasm for casting ballots this November compared to those who supported President Donald Trump, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll completed on Monday. The six-day survey, conducted nationwide and involving 4,506 adults online, indicates that 48% of Trump supporters are "very enthusiastic" about voting in the midterms, while only 30% of Harris voters share the same sentiment.
The findings suggest potential challenges for Republicans as they head into the midterm elections, with men displaying higher enthusiasm and certainty in voting compared to women. The poll also reveals a narrowing enthusiasm gap favoring Democrats, potentially signaling a shift in support from a demographic group that significantly contributed to Trump's 2024 victory.
