CBS/NYT poll shows voter enthusiasm among GOP sharply rising
posted at 10:41 am on July 18, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
After spending tens of millions of dollars trying to demonize Mitt Romney over the last two months, Barack Obama and his campaign had hoped to erode any enthusiasm for the Republican nominee. According to the new CBS/NYT poll, not only have they failed, the effort may be backfiring:
Meantime, three and a half months before election day, Republican enthusiasm about voting this year has shot up since Mitt Romney clinched the nomination in April, from 36 percent of Republicans saying they were more enthusiastic in March to 49 percent now.
President Obama was helped to election in 2008 by a wave of voter enthusiasm among Democrats, however this year, Democratic enthusiasm is down a bit since March. Twenty-seven percent of Democrats said they were more enthusiastic about voting this year than they were in past elections, compared to 30 percent four months ago. And 48 percent of Democrats say their enthusiasm this year is the same as past elections, compared to 39 percent who answered the same question in March.
Independent voters’ enthusiasm is also up with 29 percent saying they’re more enthusiastic now from 22 percent four months ago.
Overall, voters aren’t as enthusiastic about this year’s election as they were in 2008. Just 33 percent of all registered voters said they were more enthusiastic this year than they were for past elections, compared to 41 percent in March 2008.
The CBS/NYT poll isn’t exactly known for its sample quality, so it will be interesting to see how that overall enthusiasm number relates to the D/R/I split. If Republican enthusiasm increased by thirteen points and independents by seven points, the overall drop of only eight points seems a little low.
The big takeaway, though, is that 49% of Republicans and 29% of independents express increased enthusiasm for this election, while only 27% of Democrats say the same thing. If Obama’s attacks are depressing enthusiasm, it’s pretty clear whose enthusiasm he’s depressing. That was always the risk for a candidate whose main qualification for office was hope and change, and whose signature outcome has been economic stagnation.

Just as it was in the primaries, Romney slowly gaining momentum and winning the election in November will be the bane of the HA trolls existence.

Chuck Schick on July 18, 2012 at 11:39 AM
Well, Obama does himself no favors when he argues that earned success doesn’t exist and that anything that you have is a result of something that he or government gave you. Even people that want handouts think that it is “owed” to them, not that they are simply leeches.

Now when you say every polling firm, are you stating those done by media outlets, done by the DNC/RNC, or a mix?
Can you please post link?
Hasn’t changed, pretty much every commentator wants Obama out, including *you*.
You got your Huggies in a twist because Romney is candidate and not some 3rd Party Walking Dead character actor named Gary Johnson is being carried upon our shoulders to his rightful place as titular head of All He Surveys…

Thank you, John Roberts.
I really want to see two cross-tabs on this poll, one they should have, one the should have, but probably won’t:
1: I’d like to see what the supports levels are among the “excited to vote” v. the population as a whole. IOW: What’s the Romney / Obama / Undecided numbers among those “Independents” who are excited to vote?
2: I’d love to see support / opposition to ObamaCareTax v. Excited / non-excited.
! they’d better well have. 2 I’m guessing they didn’t ask, because they didn’t want to see the numbers.

But according to an out-lying upper eastern border Minnesota Poll with a plus 37 percent progressive leaning sampling conducted by Euro-Orthodox Progressive Druid Monks who have no reproductive organs, Mitt Romney doesn’t have a chance and the entire Conservative Movement hinges on throwing the 2012 election away by voting for Gary Johnson.

Look at the earlier posts on this page [2] if you want the links I supplied, and todays pols show NONE OF THE OLD ABO ENTHUSIASM since Romney was selected by the GOP elitists.
You are right. I want 0bama out, but unlike a lot of republican voters I know we have more options than the GOP liberal, thus my enthusiasm remains high today.

He’s a living example of his own rhetoric. But I digress. The nobel committee lost all its cred when they doled out their gold to this guy… for doing who knows what. But then again they gave it Carter. But he actually did a little something, though I’m not sure exactly what it was.
Red Creek on July 18, 2012 at 11:56 AM
Exactly. I’d like to know what good the anti-Mitt’s think they’re doing for voter enthusiasm by constantly bashing the only chance we have of ousting O. Some third party whirlwind will only happen in a parallel universe. Alternatively, they simply want O to win reelection.
Slainte on July 18, 2012 at 11:57 AM
I usually vote early for the convince factor. This time I’ll vote on the first available day just in case an asteroid falls on my head before election day. Is that the kind of enthusiasm they’re talking about?
tj4osu on July 18, 2012 at 12:00 PM
I don’t want someone to more competently implement big government statism. I’m not talking about depressing from a “flash” standpoint, but from a policy standpoint. For example, someone without flash, but with a decent-to-good policy record would be wonderful (think Mitch Daniels).

It may make strategic sense to support Romney over Johnson, but I don’t think that there is much doubt that Johnson was a significantly better governor than Romney was.

EXCEPT, Romney might have gotten elected in NM, but Johnson would NEVER make it in MA….Now you can fault, I guess, Romney for running for office in a Deep Blue State, as a Republican, but we’re you’re “planted” affects how you bloom. And a Johnson flower in MA, would come a cropper.

VegasRick on July 18, 2012 at 12:09 PM
As JFKY noted, the comparison holds little value when you contrast the difference between the two states. Romney would certainly have governed differently in NM and Johnson wouldn’t have had a chance in Hades of winning a gubernatorial race in MA.

The War Planner on July 18, 2012 at 12:21 PM
I don’t know that that is true. I don’t have a crystal ball. What I do know is that (1) Johnson did a pretty decent job in a blue state; and (2) Romney claims that his MA record was “severely conservative,” which is most definitely is not; he doesn’t argue that it was the best he could do in a (deep) blue state. So, forgive me if I don’t find that excuse very convincing.

The War Planner on July 18, 2012 at 12:23 PM
How do you know either of those things? Romney says that what he did in MA was “severely conservative.” What makes you think that he would have governed more conservatively in NM? There is no evidence for that. And you do know that NM is a blue state as well, right? Johnson actually ran for and got elected to a second term.

You’ve stated it makes strategic sense to support Romney, but yet you’re still depressed and lamenting. Why not look at the bright possibility that O will be sent packing? Why not focus your energies more productively toward helping Romney defeat O?

There are various shades of blue. MA is the very deepest blue hue.
So, as I asked previously, why don’t you focus on defeating O rather than beating the Romney sucks drum?

Here ya go…
I don’t smoke pot today. I don’t drink alcohol. But I’ve done both of them and I can speak with authority over the fact that there’s a big difference between marijuana and alcohol. And the difference is that marijuana is a lot safer. ~ Gary Johnson
But in an interview with THE WEEKLY STANDARD, Johnson admitted publicly for the first time that he smoked marijuana more recently—from 2005 to 2008—for medicinal purposes, he says.
Gov. Gary Johnson: I Smoked Marijuana from 2005 to 2008
“It’s not anything I volunteer, but you’re the only person that actually asked about it,” says Johnson, who governed New Mexico from 1994 to 2002. “But for luck, I guess, I wasn’t arrested.” Although smoking marijuana for medicinal purposes was illegal in New Mexico until 2007

Chuck Schick on July 18, 2012 at 1:08 PM
As far as it goes, i think any more bashing of Romney after the nomination is pretty much going to be Pyrrhic at best.
I do not discount the anger the base has at the GOP for the last few cycles (hence the TEA Party), but Mitt is better than Obama and he’s the best chance to right now.
To those that champion 3rd Party/Libertarian: The majority *YOU* need to make that happen, means it’s on *YOU* to give us a candidate we will vote for.
That may be true, but unfortunately, you have to factor in other issues, and something as Hollywood as name recognition is a factor.
Romney has it, Johnson doesn’t…outside a fringe issue like Legalization.
Look, I’d gladly vote 3rd party, but no one is stepping forward on issues i care about and is willing to do whats necessary AND still be appealing.
Ron Paul wasn’t it. Neither is Johnson.
Either offer a candidate that meets my needs or i shop elsewhere. If Romney is my best for the time, so be it.

That’s assuming you wish to believe the LSM and their polls. I don’t unless I get the breakdowns and even then I’m skeptical.
It is only mid-July and they are already calling Romney a felon. That doesn’t sound like a well-oiled, in command campaign.
Now why would that be? And why worry about it extensively?
The Obama campaign and his minions are only going to get stupider and more desperate in the coming months if this is any indication. I’m not entirely sure why you have to spread your *unnecessary* doom and gloom. If it’s a Palin thing you do her and yourself no favors.
It’s either Romney or Obama. Romney is not ideal by a long shot, but right now the status quo for the next four years is looking mighty fine as opposed to the alternative.

So your point is? Perhaps it’s time to move elsewhere if the country is populated by idiots who are easily swayed by polls because that means Obama’s going to win irregardless.
Personally, I don’t share your desire to wear this particular tinfoil hat. I have too many already. There were no good candidates this run through and Romney had the smarts (however you wish to define this) to be the last man standing. That’s all that happened.

You mean they way you ‘bots have “poisoned” Palin threads here since 2008? Sucks, don’t it?

News reports state that Gary’s polling numbers are increasing so don’t lose that money.

Voting for Romney with a heavy heart, because no matter who wins the Presidential election, I don’t see a good outcome for the country for at least a generation. [self-censoring my long depressing essay on why]
