“There are challenges on the left, Politico has a report up today from a democratic think tank Third Way that Democratic registration is down 800,000 since 2008 in big states, including Florida, North Carolina, Colorado, Pennsylvania: battleground states. So the new democrat enthusiasm is down. Will they be able to shore up existing democratic enthusiasm? Probably. It’s up to, of course, Republicans to shore up existing Republican enthusiasm. According to this report also, Independents spiking way up.” - S.E. Cupp on MSNBC’s The Cycle
