    This won’t matter if no one votes.

    Also, Newsweek has been going far out of their way to paint a picture of Trump doing poorly even when he’s not. Beware this source.

      But he was doing poorly. Newsweek has fallen off in quality, but so have lots of other papers too. The friggin New York Times was running articles about how trump was amazing and so much more vibrant than Biden. They had a big op-ed focusing on just Biden stepping down from the campaign, completely ignoring trump’s failings.

      Now it’s obvious that they just wanted to cover a Democratic primary horse race. Trump is clearly just as slow as Biden, compared to Kamala.

          I’m out of the loop; is the NYT transphobic now?

            A lot of News Groups were purchased by Far Right Billionaires because of fears that if they didn’t then they’d “Keep making up Fake News about Trump!111” So yeah, the NYT is VERY transphobic.

      I’ve seen the same numbers in many places. Always wonder why discounting a source is the first and only comment from someone.

        I’m not familiar with Newsweek’s history, but I discount this source because every link is back to their website, and they don’t present the data they’re citing. I had to go look it up to confirm. PDF link is here: https://www.ipsos.com/sites/default/files/ct/news/documents/2024-07/Topline ABC_Ipsos Poll July 27 2024.pdf

        Also presenting a view that Trump is destined to lose gets us in the situation in 2016 where people didn’t go vote because it was a given that Hillary would win. From a polling perspective, the information is really only useful to the campaign, to know where to focus and what is doing well. For everyone else, it’s a curiosity to see how the rest of the country is feeling. The only real way to ensure Trump doesn’t get back into the White House is to vote.

        Because Newsweek in particular deserves it? Post better sources.

          Far as I can see by your history, you’ve never posted in this sub.

            Nope! I don’t have to post to recognize horrible sources in the same way that I don’t have to write a song to know one hurts my ears to listen to.
