In my post on the CD10 poll that provides some good news for Ted Ankrum, I mentioned that one reason why the proportion of likely voters was higher in Travis County than in Harris was greater enthusiasm by voters in the Democratic Travis. For what it's worth, various national polls have consistently shown that more Democrats are excited about this year's election than they have been in recent years, while Republican interest is down. MyDD has the details.

He is a GOP pollster/strategist, albeit a well respected one, so take that for what's it worth.
