President Joe Biden appears poised to benefit from a reverse enthusiasm gap, with Democrats being more motivated than Republicans to vote against the opposing candidate.
A new Civiqs poll for Daily Kos posited: Regardless of who you are voting for for president, how motivated are you by voting against the other candidate?
Overall, nearly 8 in 10 registered voters said they were "extremely" motivated by voting against the rival candidate, with Democratic voters besting Republican voters by 7 points, 85% to 77%.
By contrast, just 63% of voters said they were "extremely" motivated to vote "in support" of their preferred candidate. Republican voters won that measure by 16 points, 78% to 62%.
