And, advantage seems to go to GOP.
============
In a prior post, we reported an NPR survey finding that Dem’s enthusiasm advantage has evaporated.
There’s some directional support for that conclusion from a recent Rasmussen poll.
Let’s drill down….
=============
Specifically:
62% of vote-eligible Republicans say that they’re more likely to vote in the midterms because of the Kavanaugh controversies.
The 62% compares to 54% for Dems and 48% for Independents.
Arguably, the GOP and Dem numbers are a wash.
=============
64% of likely Republicans voters are “very angry” about the Senate’s treatment of Kavanaugh
Less than half (48%) of Dems are “very angry” about the Senate’s treatment of Dr. Ford.
I’d call 64% to 48% statistically significant.
=============
Rasmussen’s conclusion:
“Republicans are madder about the Kavanaugh controversy than Democrats are and more determined to vote in the upcoming elections because of it.”
=============
Technical note: Rasmussen is often disparaged by pollsters because it’s a robocall survey.
But, in 2016, its method was one that early-captured the “hidden” Trump voters … in part because the method doesn’t require admitting a controversial opinion to human pollsters.
So, I often refer to Rasmussen for clues … but, wouldn’t bet the house on its specific findings.

Would someone please post a list of all the angry Republicans who yell and scream at Democrats in elevators, on the streets in front of the “enemies”‘s houses, in restaurants, high school athletes booed, , conservative speakers on college campuses, and so on and on and on …..?
Is there a Republican equivalent of Maxine Waters? Diane Fienstein? Eric Holder? and the so-called comedians who can raise laughs from idiots suffering from Trump derangement syndrome? “Both sides do it – It’s politics!” NO THEY DON”T! Where are the Republican MOBS?
Enough said …. Go vote RED on election day!
