In Virginia, PPP Finds 18 Point Enthusiasm Gap Between McCain and Obama Voters

The early word on the most recent survey by Public Policy Polling in Virginia is fascinating: “Last week I was skeptical of SurveyUSA’s poll showing an electorate that voted for John McCain 52-43…but we actually found it at a 52-41 McCain advantage. What does that mean? Let’s say that 2 million people vote this fall, a slight uptick from 2005. Using the data from the poll that would mean 1,040,000 McCain voters and 820,000 Obama voters… So there’s basically an 18 point enthusiasm gap for turning out this fall between McCain voters and Obama voters at this point.”
