It’s reassuring if true, but Newsweek are a right-wing disinformation source. Perhaps they’re reporting this straight, or perhaps this is disinformation aimed at a specific goal. In any case, nothing from them should be taken at face value unless verified from a reputable source.
Huh, I had assumed Newsweek was mostly left, but it looks like you’re correct:
Bias Rating: RIGHT-CENTER
Factual Reporting: MOSTLY FACTUAL
Country: USA
MBFC’s Country Freedom Rating: MOSTLY FREE
Media Type: Magazine
Traffic/Popularity: High Traffic
MBFC Credibility Rating: HIGH CREDIBILITY
I haven’t read it in over a decade though…
FWIW, I had a subscription over a decade ago. I can’t say I ever thought of it as “Left”, it was at best, corporate center. But it definitely has gone more right as it has also gone more sensationalist. They partnered with Daily Beast for a while, and then were sold to IBT media, an international “news and Information” conglomerate. I think your memories are from the old hard journalism days, and they have gone back to corporate, but corporate-right.
It is disinformation. The data from the poll they are referencing was mostly completed before the assassination attempt: https://pro.morningconsult.com/trackers/2024-presidential-election-polling (Archive Link)
The latest data was collected Friday through Sunday, meaning most responses were gathered before Saturday’s assassination attempt on Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
Be sure to vote as if polls don’t exists.
Im voting for not trump. Hopefully at some my in my lifetime my vote will actually count.
Nope. Your vote always counts. It may not feel like it counts much, it’s one vote, but it will absolutely count. We have to stop this rhetoric of “my vote doesn’t count” because it’s how people justify not voting at all.
Especially from the “not trump” side of things, voter turnout is the only thing that stops them from winning. If you can give right/republicans one thing they have consistent voter turnout, but every single time overall voter counts are boosted (Like during Obama’s initial election) the needle of results sways strongly towards Democrats/independents.
So please, please stop saying your vote doesn’t count. Because even if it’s a single vote it is SO important that you go and do it.
Electoral college is what counts. If California was a battleground state, then yes, my vote counts.
You mean the media and pundits were wrong? Shocker.
We need to worry about motivation, not polls. Very few people will change their minds about the candidates, but many of them will change their minds about voting. Some percentage of likely voters will always stay home. That percentage is going to be much lower for people whose candidate survived an assassination attempt.
Because literally, more than half the country wishes he didn’t miss.
