- A new Gallup poll shows Democrats are roughly as excited about voting as they were in early 2008.
- The surge in enthusiasm came after Biden dropped out and Harris launched her campaign.
- Republicans aren't as enthusiastic, but are close to their previous record from August 2020.
The race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump remains tight, and either candidate could prevail in November.
But one thing's clear, according to a new poll: Democrats are way more enthusiastic than Republicans about voting right now, and it's likely driven by Harris' ascent to the top of the ticket.
