    “The data does show some bright lights. In the early states, Trump polls at least 10 points below his national numbers,” said Chris Sununu, the Republican governor of New Hampshire and a critic of Mr Trump.

    Man who has 40-50% of the total vote only has 30-40% of the vote in a contest where the next highest guy is lucky to break 15%.

    “Why won’t our Republican friends understand that Trump is a criminal? Once ole donnie is behind bars, surely THAT will break the spell and definitely not drive these reasonable moderate Republicans into an orgiastic suicidal frenzy of destruction? America is like an airplane, it needs two wings, the Democrats and Republicans, to fly!” — libs

      Luckily I took Journalism in high school. “News” is reporting of facts. News articles do not mention accusations, or supposition, or opinions - except reported as a fact, such as “Guiliani stated that people were unfairly attacking him”. Not “People are unfairly attacking Guliani”, which is opinion. Editorial, opinion, etc. are supposed (in newspapers) to be clearly stated as such. There is a big difference. The problem with Fox “News” is first that it calls itself “news” which is mostly false. Second, I do see some (surprising) actual news, but it’s always during low viewership time periods. During any time there is significant viewership, it is nonstop opinion, editorial, etc. - and it is all one-sided. Heck, they’ve paid hundreds of $millions for outright lying to viewers. They are almost all right wing propaganda.

      Even when they think they’re being oppositional, liberals are completely helpless in the face of propaganda, the myths they tell themselves about objectivity leaves them unable to articulate any position that can’t be reduced to vague credentialism

    78% percent of how many and where, because that article lists neither. So for all I know it’s made up.

    And it’s paywalled.

    The thing is, it’s not really about Trump or Biden anymore. People on all sides are fed up with the government, lack of representation, wealth disparity, and a whole host of other issues.

    The I just want to watch the world burn vote is a thing, and it could be a reason for the wild fluctuations in polling recently.

    I actually saw a right wing super pack YouTube advertisement recently talking about how “If Trump runs the Biden wins. You wouldn’t want that now, would you? Vote for one of the other right wing ass-hats to ensure Biden loses… and America wins”
