Black voters are less likely than white voters to say they’re “extremely” or “very” enthusiastic about voting in midterm elections, 37 percent to 50 percent, and a similar gap appears between the youngest and oldest, 39 percent to 55 percent.

Both figures are indicative of the Democratic Party’s enthusiasm problem heading into the campaign season: 56 percent of Republican voters expressed high excitement for the midterms in the latest survey, compared with 47 percent of Democrats.

When it comes to the prospect of a Black female justice, Democratic voters are more likely to express excitement (75 percent) about Biden’s plans than Republicans are to say they are angry (40 percent) or worried (46 percent) about it, suggesting the energy behind the choice is higher on the left side of the aisle.
