The key word there being “seem.”A new Washington Post-ABC News poll, as Mike DeBonis and Emily Guskin report, presents a pretty mixed bag for Democrats. When the Post-ABC poll asked this question in April 2014, the GOP led on it by 14 points. In addition, the choice in the poll question is between being a check on the president and voting for the party that supports the president's agenda, and poll respondents are often drawn toward more middle-ground, moderate positions. How bad is it that Democrats are somehow less enthusiastic about this election than are Republicans? The Post-ABC poll was conducted July 10-13 among a random national sample of 1,001 adults reached on cellular and landline phones.
