Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

Frank Luntz is a Republican “best known for developing talking points and other messaging for Republican causes.”
This is heavily biased. There are other articles out saying groups of independents lean more Biden after the debate.
Stop with the doomer takes on this one early debate.
Edit: Where are these magical other groups of independents leaning Biden after the debate? Here's another via Reuters:

In this instance, I would actually trust a Republican statistician over a Democrat to convey some semblance of reality given the damage-control within the Democratic party. But these are simply pollsters; and pollsters don't lie; and these are undecided voters in battleground states, specifically. So unless you can actually identify what is wrong with his methodology, I think you should consider this as a hard-truth... And it doesn't take much imagination to see how people could come away from that debate and lean toward Trump, considering universally everyone agrees Biden lost that debate in one of the worst performances in history.
Finally, why the fuck would Luntz show these data when it actually reveals a key issue with Democrats? If he was that biased, shouldn't he be fudging the numbers and giving false-data that swing-voters love Biden? Think this through.
Axios is reporting this, after all.
Nothing doomer about what has been a slow and steady decline in Biden's polling for months and months on end. This is more the final straw that broke the camel's back.
Pro-tip: When "internal polling shows something different" is said by the White House but they won't reveal the data, it means they're lying for damage-control.
Edit: I take it many of you didn't actually watch the debate, did you?
