Harris' candidacy has led to surge in Black voter enthusiasm. It could make a difference in swing states
abcnews.go.com
There's a surge of support for Harris from Black voters and organizers who could make up lost ground for Democrats in critical battleground states.

“Enthusiasm” has always been a “flex” for GOP these recent elections.

Is that similar to a noise meter at events?

The enthusiasm equals 2 football fields plus 6 cubits.

    What instrument is used to measure this?

    Is it tied to the atomic clock?
    Or whether the moon is in Virgo, with a salivating Aquarius?

    eta: lol, dogpile!

    Data?
    Anyone?

      if you’re asking what mechanism could be used to quantify “voter enthusiasm”, a poll of “do you intend to vote in this election” seems like a pretty easy and obvious answer

          New voter registrations after a particular event.

          You could also read the article you posted?

          Formed in 2020, Win With Black Women has met by Zoom most Sundays for almost four years, drawing hundreds of attendees and support from names like Oprah Winfrey and Dionne Warwick. But Eaddy said they had never had a call anything like this past Sunday’s, which drew tens of thousands of viewers, raised more than $2 million for the just-launched Harris campaign, and inspired a similar call led by Black men the next night that raised $1.3 million more for Harris’ campaign.

          “As someone who’s done a lot of fundraising, I’ve never raised $1.3 million over three or four hours from grassroots donors, I’ve never seen that kind of momentum,” James said. “The energy is inspiring. Each one of those people on the call can organize 10 people or 100 people, and we hope to mobilize all of them.”

          Although there are few polls out that have data to fully capture this moment, Harris is already seeing significantly higher numbers in favorability with Black voters. Black voters in April or June who split 70% for Biden to 23% for Trump in previous polling, now break 78% for Harris to 15% for Trump, according to a CNN/SSRS released on Wednesday.

            Does maga use the same enthusiasm data?

            What was the enthusiasm measurement in 2020 vs. today?

            What’s the metric?

                  Why are you like this? Try and put your thoughts into a coherent point instead of just asking a bunch of inane questions.

                  Is your point that you think ‘enthusiasm’ is a made up metric? Ok, cool, great job, you cracked politics.

          i’m not sure national elections of a world superpower are followed on precisely the same level as attack on titan readership

          In Trump’s case it is usually to do with his own inflated claims of rally attendance rather than any firm polling data. Donny really knows how to inflame his base, but his party’s consistent underperformance in by-year elections suggests that doesn’t translate into general election success.

      Do you know what enthusiasm means? The article you linked has a number of examples of what data might lead someone to believe in the increased enthusiasm. Did you read it?

          Good lord, you posted the freaking article and now you get shirty when people tell you to read it to answer your own damn question? That’s just weird.

            I asked, specifically in the post, what the metric is.

            What was the enthusiasm index at this point in 2020?

            What are the metrics used?

            It’s fluff. Sorry I caused your outrage.
            That’s weird.
