Poll: Michigan Dems more alarmed about nation, more excited to vote in November
There is a stark enthusiasm gap among Michigan voters in a new poll, which may be good news for Democrats and frightening news for Republicans.
Voter enthusiasm is high overall in Michigan, possibly because Michigan residents have a lot to vote for: On the ballot will be the election of a U.S. senator, the governor, every seat in the Michigan House and Senate, and various ballot proposals including the legalization of recreational marijuana and, possibly, the creation of a nonpartisan redistricting commission.
But a higher percentage of Michigan Democrats say they are certain to vote than Republicans, according to a poll from PRRI (Public Religion Research Institute), a Washington, D.C. nonpartisan organization that conducts public opinion surveys. The group surveyed several Midwest states examining voters engagement headed into the 2018 midterm elections. The poll of 595 Michigan residents was conducted June 6 to 18 and had a margin of error of 5.1 percent.
Democrats in particular, fueled at least partly by anger over the nation’s direction, are itching for the chance to vote, according to the poll’s findings. In Michigan, 70 percent of Democrats said they are definitely going to vote, compared with 56 percent of Republicans.

Folks here are not happy. They're increasingly realizing that something dark and dangerous happened on November 8, 2016 and are determined to not let anything like it happen in 2018.
