Historic Motivation to Vote in November: Voters at 9.4 in Motivation
 Voters were asked on a one to ten scale, how motivated they were to cast a ballot in the November election. The higher the
number, the greater the motivation. Voters are motivated at a historically high 9.4 on a 10.0 point scale. Voters across all

 The chart below provides context into how unusual this motivation to vote is. We compared motivation to vote by party for
the past three elections compared to this November. Voters are substantially more motivated to vote than even during the
October 2012 period. Their motivation is in stark contrast to the particularly low levels of motivation in the 2016 election – of
particular note is the motivation compared to 2016 of Independents and Leaning Democratic voters.

more voters have an unfavorable impression of Donald Trump.
