Excited About Change

Americans are excited about the race for President and Democrats are more fired up than Republicans.

By 62%-28%, voters say they're more enthusiastic about voting than usual. That's 17 percentage points higher than at this point in 2000 and 6 points higher than in 2004 — a year in which November turnout was the highest in a generation.

Democrats are significantly more keyed up about the election than Republicans, a major advantage if the feeling continues to November.

Republicans and independents who "lean" to the GOP say by 49%-37% that they're more excited than usual. For Democrats, it's 74%-19%. (LA Time)

The desire for change is noticable locally. I suspect that there'll be record turn-outs for the Democratic precinct caucuses on Feb. 9th and the County convention April 5th.
