Voter Excitement Level Highest in Years
By Shawn Healy
An excerpt from an October 11th AP story reveals encouraging results about voter interest in the upcoming midterm elections:
Politics is a water-cooler topic, a dinner-table subject, an issue to discuss after Sunday services, and this year the interest of American voters is at its highest level in more than a decade.
That renewed attention could translate into higher voter turnout on Nov. 7, according to an Associated Press-Pew poll.
Seventy percent say they are talking politics with family and friends, and 43 percent are debating the issues at work. Among churchgoers, 28 percent share their political views, a number that rises to 34 percent among the congregations in the South.
Americans have heard from the candidates and campaigns through phone calls, e-mail or one-on-one. In turn, they've participated more in the political process, attending campaign events, circulating petitions and making political donations.
While enthusiasm and constituent contacts don't always translate into higher turnout, they are indicators of civic engagement and the process is better for it. Here's another plug for exercising your constitutional right in a critical election facing our country in 15 days...VOTE!!!
