New Poll: The Enthusiasm Gap

It seems to be conventional wisdom at this point that Democrats are in for a "beat down" Nov. 2.

Now, a new Associated Press-Knowledge Networks poll points to that end, as well:

- Half of those who voted for Obama in 2008 say they will definitely show up on Election Day.

- Two-thirds of those who voted for McCain in 2008 say they will show up.

- One-fourth of those who voted for Obama are defecting to the GOP or considering voting against Democrats.

Yet, the poll shows, just as many McCain backers are either supporting Democrats now or are considering just not voting.

This is what politicians, pollsters, and what-not call "the enthusiasm gap."
