Just a few days ago reported that Biden was winning battleground states because of felon. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] MartianRecon@lemmus.org 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) The media doesn't get clicks when the race isn't close.

There's nothing incompatible about an unpopular candidate leading in polls. Whoever wins this election will have a net-negative approval rating. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Blackbeard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) . permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago Obama was pretty firmly in the internet age, and left office in his second term with an approval rating of 55%. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago I mean you can still have a low ass approval rating and best an opponent who has an even lower approval rating.
