USA TODAY’s Susan Page mentioned findings from a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll in today’s analysis of President Obama’s Oval Office address, including a widening “enthusiasm gap” between Democrats and Republicans looking at the November elections.

Here’s more detail from Susan about those results:

Midterm elections, when turnout is traditionally low, are all about getting voters engaged enough to actually go the polls and vote. In the USA TODAY survey taken Friday through Sunday, there’s sobering news on that front for Democrats. Just 35% of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters said they were “more enthusiastic than usual” about voting in November. That’s down eight percentage points from May and a precipitous 22-point drop from the poll we took in March.
