Right? Just a few days ago reported that Biden was winning battleground states because of felon.

[-] MartianRecon@lemmus.org 9 points 2 years ago

Precisely.

If you look at the underlying metrics for this election, it shouldn't be anywhere near to being close. Multiple state republican parties are literally bankrupt, the primary demographic of the GOP is dying due to old age, and they are running a convicted felon.

You also have stuff like trump paying for biased polls. Are we really going to think that other people; didn't know about this and are now doing it as well?

It just doesn't make any sense, and of course our corporate owned media flat out refuses to be the 4th wall and be objective in their reporting. It's infuriating.

The media doesn't get clicks when the race isn't close. So they do everything they can to portray it as close.

[-] MartianRecon@lemmus.org 5 points 2 years ago

Without a doubt. It's very frustrating isn't it?

Approval is not the same as "won't vote for", and even if it was, if enough of the other guy's base won't vote for him an unpopular person can still win. There's nothing incompatible about an unpopular candidate leading in polls. Whoever wins this election will have a net-negative approval rating.

Obama was pretty firmly in the internet age, and left office in his second term with an approval rating of 55%.

I mean you can still have a low ass approval rating and best an opponent who has an even lower approval rating. Two things can be true at once. People people can dislike Biden, and dislike the other guy more.
