“Even if Trump is indicted in one of his legal battles, the polling suggests he could still defeat Biden.”
He’s already been indicted. 4 times.
Pretty sure they meant “convicted”.
pretty sure this is a garbage article
Remember how Clinton’s emails were a fiasco to some of these people?
His supporters absolutely do not care what Democrats call him, what legal issues he’s involved in, etc. Democrats need to focus on policy and issues instead of solely attacking Trump. Democrats are not going to change Trump supporters minds. Stop trying to get a few Republicans to move over and start courting the actual Left.
Wasn’t attempting to get anyone to change their mind. Simply pointing out the misstatement in the article.
I understood and was adding to it.
Polls are polls, but just the fact that there is still any conversation at this point says a lot about the state of the country.
The media is absolutely owned by the wealthy and their sway over the common person is astounding.
From what I’ve seen (uneducated, informal, observation of recent smaller elections) it seems Republicans are losing ground with their crazy shit from school board seats to municipal/state elections - but this could easily be confirmation bias as I’m not really tracking repuglican scores.
It seems like regardless of what polls say, general America is fed up with the crazy and partially showing up to vote (or less R participating if they can’t be assed to vote for a D) in less significant elections these days.
Hopefully it’s a blowout democratic win this year and they can finally close the door on this Christian nationalist, Nazi, Gilead, bullshit across as many levels in for gov’t as possible.
We’ve been engineered to have a short memory and an even shorter attention span. People who would vote for Republicans doubly so. All Republicans have to do is fly silent for a month or two and most transgressions and fouls will be forgiven. Whereas Democrats are still being held responsible for things they didn’t do nearly 10 years ago.
It really needs to be emphasized that polls this far out are basically meaningless. This far out, Romney was significantly outpolling Obama, and that was a blowout.
There was an article a while ago about Biden being up 10 in NY and everyone celebrating…
You have to go back to 1988 and Walter Mondale to see a Dem win NY by less than 15. Biden won by 23 last time.
He’s not a good candidate, and if we’re really stuck with him, he needs to pull his head out of his ass.
It gets sadder and sadder the older I get to see the state of America. The fact that this man ever even had a chance to be president, let alone after everything that has happened during and since his presidency, for him to still be the most popular option. I hate this.
I thought Bush elected for a 2nd term had to be the all time low. Trump winning once, and competing twice for a 2nd term, together with the general insanity Republicans have devolved to, while maintaining about half the populous support, makes it pretty hard to be an optimist about USA.
I know Russia has a hand in this, but turning Republicans to a Putin/Russia loving party, should not have been possible.
Trump is a traitor tohis countryUSA, how the fuck can he achieve nomination even once?
As noted previously, national polls are useless because we don’t have national elections.
BUT - If you look at polling in the states that WILL matter… states that Biden won in 2020 and HAS to win in 2024:
Arizona - Trump +3 to +6
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/arizona/Georgia - Trump +6 to +9
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/georgia/Michigan - Tie to Trump +2/+3
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/michigan/Nevada - Trump +6 to +10
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/nevada/New Mexico - Biden +8 - Last poll is so old as to be useless though.
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/new-mexico/Pennsylvania - Trump +2 to +5
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/pennsylvania/Wisconsin - Trump +3 to +4
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/wisconsin/Plotted on a map, that’s a Trump win:
This is terrifying and needs to get more attention
The Hill has become complete fucking garbage.
They’re reporting on a poll. How is that trash?
Did you hear that Republicans? You guys got this election in the bag. Don’t bother going out to vote because you are guaranteed to win. All these polls keep coming out that Trump is in the lead so just let democracy do it’s thing.
