  2. The “bad news” is that he leads in every swing state but Michigan and Wisconsin.

  3. Each day that goes by there are different poll results that say conflicting things. It’s maddening. Anyway, educate the masses about Project 2025. It’s not about candidates anymore. It’s about freedom and democracy.

  4. This about securing a trifecta too. Nevada, Arizona, Montana and Ohio are all senatorial swing states. You cannot get anything done without a congressional trifecta. Joe Biden should resign on Monday. He is a hero and a patriot and has done an excellent job. Kamala is more than capable of running the country for six months.

  5. I wish Newsweek would be banned because their headlines intentionally make you click to gather any information. If Florida were nuked tomorrow their headline would be “Florida shook by calamity: State emergency services respond”.

  6. I don’t buy that the Republicans here support Kamala Harris. They just fear Joe Biden.

  7. More fucking liberal copium.

    Imagine having literally anyone other than Biden right now?

    They’d be sweeping the floor with Trump, not still losing swing states.

    This is unbelievable.

  8. Never trust the polls, for whatever reason trump always out performs the polls.

    In 2016 Democrats the polls had Hillary winning by 5 points and lost by a considerable margin.

    It took a record turn out to beat him in 2020 and he was still 100k votes from a second term.

    The polls had Biden up by 8 points and he barely squeaked by.

    The polls are deceiving and should not be trusted. If the election was today, I’d wager Trump winning by a pretty considerable margin.

  9. There is no way Biden is leading in Wisconsin by 3 and Michigan by 5, while trailing in Pennsylvania by 7. Those three states haven’t voted for different candidates since ~~1976~~ 1988, and they have very similar demos, so I just don’t buy this poll.

  10. If you need to take *all* those swing states together to create this slim margin, it’s possible that one would be a large victory and the rest are solid losses.

    Poor analysis…. Really poor

  11. Biden’s support is solidifying. Media having a fit bc they realize that legacy media isn’t driving the bus anymore. The voters are the deciders, not the oligarch for profit media.

  13. I love how Trump is trying to distance himself from far right Heritage Group’s Project 2025, after its leader said a second American Revolution would “remain bloodless if the left allows it to be”, but many involved have close ties to Trump and worked with him during his presidency, and would likely work with him again. Don’t believe him.

    Such as Russ Vought, who was Trump’s director of the Management and Budget and head of committee at the Republican National Convention, authored one of the chapters. Stephen Miller, who was a senior adviser to Trump, widely expected to be tapped for a top job in a second Trump administration, heads up a legal group on Project 2025’s advisory board.

    So, just like Trump cannot distance himself from the extreme policies overturning Roe, in the end, Trump cannot distance himself from Project 2025. Vote Democrat down the ballot.

  14. The closer it gets to Election Day, the more people are reminded what happened after the *last* election.

    Embracing the “heroes” of January 6th was perhaps the dumbest thing this very dumb person has done in his very dumb life.

  15. Even in this “bad poll”, it’s more than enough for him to win. His polling average is too high to not win in NV, AZ, and GA. Then he only needs one of the swing state and in this bad poll, it has Trump up by 5 points in MI.

  19. Newsweek says Biden is the best candidate to beat trump. No ulterior motives here, just straight facts. They do not want biden to run. Honest.

    You know who else is conspicuously not piling on Biden right now? Trump. Why do we think that is? Why isn’t trump out there blasting Joe for sundowning in front of our eyes?

  20. Fair is fair. Biden deserves shitry press, but Trump PERFORMED LIKE SHIT in the debate too!

    “Trumps awful debate and fascist message hurt him in critical swing states”

  21. Maybe because Trump is a felon? A fraud? A pedophile? A lying malignant narcissist who wants to bring christo-fascist nationalism to America with a campaign of retribution and violence? I’ll take old, thanks.

  23. When are we going to stop acting like Trump is polling poorly “despite” Biden’s debate performance?

    Biden is old and rickety but this time around Trump has a far worse campaign than Hillary Clinton did. His only platform is revenge and he can’t answer a single question about policy, and we all saw him royally fuck up last time.

    It’s like saying Trump might be a able to direct a movie better than Clint Eastwood because Eastwood is so old. Nope. Not in a million years, because Eastwood has a lifetime of experience and Trump has a lifetime of bullshitting people.

  24. So Joe Biden is losing to trump. That’s what this article spun to be pro Biden.

  25. Biden has done so much good for America. He’s gets no credit in the media. He has a bad debate…that’s it and the media is all over it. Trump lied every time he opened his mouth during the debate . Where’s the outrage? Or the fact that he’s an all around horrible person that tried to overthrow the election.

  26. How long until his Epstein escapades filter to the mass of asses following him?

  27. 1pt margin of error in this era of polling is a wild claim.

  28. I think anyone with a brain and sense of logic could see that Trump is not what America needs at all, and is actually indicative of America’s disgustingly bigoted past (which is why he’s quite popular with those same sorts of people, the ones who didn’t want black people sitting down at the same counters, the ones who don’t want to see gay people exist, trans people exist, etc.)

    Like, who the fuck would be like “YEAH WE TOTALLY NEED MORE SYSTEMATIC OPPRESSION AND A PEDO RAPIST ABUSER DEGENERATE WITH DEMENTIA AT THE HELM.”

  29. I don’t care what the article says. No complacency. Vote like our lives depend on it, because they do

  30. I watched the debate. I’ll take old Biden over Trump lying through his teeth and working with foreign powers behind the scenes.

  32. It’s astonishing to me that people have suddenly started taking polls seriously when in the past 4 years, arguably 8 years, the polls have NOT BEEN ACCURATE AT ALL. In fact, the polls tend to be wildly more conservative, leading to democrats doing way better than projected OVER AND OVER.

  33. Why does Dumpsters face always look like a smacked arse????????

  34. “Biden gets good news in Swing States, due to Trump’s rape adjudication and criminal conviction on 34 felonies” FTFY

  35. Biden is losing to Trump (in the polls)….😫

    Now, I know he went full geriatric at the debate, with the mouth gaped open, the hand reaching for head, glare of concentration, like he’s trying to remember where he left his keys…muttering with a incoherent train of thought.

    __But…__

    I mean we’re talking about fundamental principals in preserving America or destroying it via Project 2025, destroying the Constitution, and erecting some bizarre, suppressive, autocratic disturbing theocracy.

    *This isn’t about Biden.* So his performance to me doesn’t matter. I’ll vote for whoever is on the Democrat ticket *and let’s not split that vote!* If we do, Trump wins.

    Biden could come out as “President X, formerly known as Biden” and President X gets my vote.

    How are we so close on this!? Especially at the fact that Biden’s performance was less than stellar….and? Who cares!? __Look__ at the opposition and what it is!

    __Look__ at what the right wing plan is. They’re going to destroy the very foundation of this country.

  36. Trump’s lies during debate has negative consequences in swing states

  37. Are we still talking about that stupid debate? That was more than a week ago. Do you know how many Trump-SCOTUS rulings fundamentally changed society since then??

  38. Not reading this article and nothing is impossible this year. He’s got a chance and that’s scary:

  40. project 2025 is not a fucking joke, people are waking up to it

  41. He fumbled over his words once and the other guy literally pooped his pants. When will these pendants admit that Biden killed Trump in the debate?

  42. I’ve heard the opposite. Seems like I keep hearing “Biden X bad thing” then I come Reddit and see the exact opposite. Lol

  43. Back and forth these posts are in this sub. Back and forth.

  44. Eh. Better not to worry about polls I say. They’re not exactly accurate. They only represent a very loose prediction which varies wildly from poll to poll. What actually happens in November, who knows.
