Voter Engagement Lower Than in 2010 and 2006 Midterms

It's gonna hurt the Dems.

At Gallup:

Usually, Republicans vote at higher rates than Democrats, and this is evident in higher scores for Republicans than for Democrats on the voter engagement questions, including this year. In fact, the Republican advantages on each of the three turnout measures at this point approach what Gallup measured in the strong GOP year of 2010 rather than in other midterm election years. As a result, even if overall turnout is depressed compared with prior years, Republicans appear poised to turn out in greater numbers than Democrats.

But be sure to RTWT.

2014's going to be different than previous elections, because voters don't expect polarization and government gridlock to end.

Fine by me. As long as the GOP shuts down the Obama-Dems, I'll be happy for a couple more years. Besides, I doubt 2016 will be a good year for the Democrats --- especially in foreign policy --- so Republicans can ride the 2014 momentum into the presidential election year. As the idiot Markos Moulitsas likes to say, crush 'em.
