"The unprecedented enthusiasm behind the president's re-election efforts stands in stark contrast to the flat, almost nonexistent enthusiasm for Biden." Corey Lewandowski, one of Trump's 2016 campaign managers, chimed in on the same day with the same pitch at Realclearpolitics.com. Brad Parscale, campaign manager for the Trump 2020 re-election campaign, says his candidate has a significant enthusiasm advantage over Democratic rival Joe Biden. Trump supporters told Pew their choice was more for Trump (76 per cent) than against Biden. That's both inconvenient for the Trump strategy and entirely consistent with how U.S. politics is evolving: Negative partisanship drives voters.
