Republicans envisioning big gains in the November midterm elections pointed to Tuesday’s Florida primaries as another piece of evidence of a widening “enthusiasm gap” that favors the GOP.

Both Republicans and Democrats had high-profile statewide primaries on the ballot. Despite outnumbering Republicans by more than 612,000 in Florida, Democrats saw 912,044 voters for the Democratic Senate primary, while nearly 1.3 million Republicans cast ballots in the GOP primary for governor.

Turnout was about 32 percent for Republicans and 19.7 percent for Democrats.

“The enthusiasm gap is real and it is growing,” crowed Tallahassee-based Republican consultant Rick Wilson.
