1. This is an incredibly smart, data-driven snapshot of the transformation of the Democratic Party by @emmaogreen, built on data from a new @TheAtlantic/@PRRIpoll survey: theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
@emmaogreen @TheAtlantic @PRRIpoll 2. The huge surge of engagement and enthusiasm is centered on religiously unaffiliated Democrats—for these voters, partisan affiliation helps center their identity in the way that perhaps ethnicity or religion once did: theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
@emmaogreen @TheAtlantic @PRRIpoll 3. The enthusiasm and anger of religiously unaffiliated voters have helped narrow the usual midterm gap for Democrats, but may do even more to transform the party than to shape the midterm results: theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
@emmaogreen @TheAtlantic @PRRIpoll 4. One caveat: It’s not yet clear if this enthusiasm for national politics will translate to voting in state and local elections, not just engagement with national issues: theatlantic.com/politics/archi… 
5. Think beyond the midterms. As the activist core of the Democratic Party transforms—more women, more of the college educated, more of the religiously unaffiliated—it will have lasting consequences for American politics we’re only beginning to grasp: theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
6. Meanwhile, @fivefifths writes, the same poll paints a different picture of black voters: "high rates of civic disengagement, diminishing levels of office seeking, …increased barriers to voting, but also more robust community interest in the election.” theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
