This week I have a poll asking people to compare their enthusiasm for the midterm with their enthusiasm for voting in the past. They have a trend line for registered voters, and national adults. It looks as though the lines go hand-in-hand. The line has been on a steady increase since 2002. This election has a lot riding on it, so that makes people more inclined to get involved. Unlike elections in the past, this seems to be a very publicized midterm. The president is out campaigning for the democrats in every state, because this election could make or break his re-election in 2012.
