Gallup: GOP Leads Generic, Enthusiasm

Gallup polling organization has new data that shows the GOP ahead of the Dems by 10 percentage points on the generic ballot. That's the question of "do you plan to vote for an R or a D for Congress this fall?"

The same poll shows the GOP ahead of the Dems by 25 points on the enthusiasm measure. If President Obama has accomplished nothing else in 20 months, he has certainly fired up Republican voters.

I understand why Republicans are excited to vote against what the Dems have been doing. I don't understand why Dems are not excited to vote in support of their elected representatives.
