      Because rawstory - like all ad-supported media - wants money. It’s a horse race bonanza.

      Polls released in late July or early August have offered some . . .

      It was published August 1. What “early August” poll are they referencing? Apparently one that happened within 12 hours of the story?

        Yeah. The literal second a poll is released it’s getting analyzed. Then it’s weird to read about later the same day because the stories have to be written to make sense a year from now.

            What do you doubt? That style guides force a past tense on news articles? Or that polls are pretty immediately getting analyzed when they’re released?

              That they’re written to make sense a year from now.

                Oh yeah, that’s a bit of an exaggeration.
