    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.
