Voter Enthusiasm

This chart is from gallup.com. It shows the percentage of people who are democrat and republican that are "very enthusiastic" about voting in 2010. The article that was with this chart said that the party with the higher level of enthusiastic voters tends to do better in elections. I found this surprising though, because I felt that in the last presidential election that there was a lot more enthusiasm, or hype, around the the democratic side of the election. I think the specific candidates in the presidential election were the reason for all the hype though, and that's what it isnt the same for the congressional election.
