Battleground Poll

The April 2019 Battleground Poll found 2020 voter enthusiasm already at election-day levels, with eighty-two percent (82%) of voters indicating that they were extremely likely to vote. The poll also found no partisan enthusiasm gap between Republicans (85% extremely likely to vote) and Democrats (83% extremely likely to vote). The survey of 1,000 registered voters also confirmed a highly polarized electorate and revealed clear opportunities and challenges for both major political parties as the 2020 campaign begins.
