Since the conviction, Republicans' views have shifted in a way that puts the guilty verdict in a more favorable light and keeps Trump's candidacy viable.

          Oh jeez they’re full on “Have you ever met a Biden voter? I’ve never met one.” with the heavy insinuation that it’s all fake.

        The only people who vote are weirdo old people, so the surveys should be a concern.

      Polls are also incredibly unreliable this far out in the most unpredictable election the country has seen in recent history.

        And if they’re national polls, they mean nothing.

          it’s almost like the people funding these polls want to convince people that lots of others are voting for Trump too, so it’s okay to vote for a insurrectionist, rapist, and convicted felon.

            Your government doesn’t think he’s an insurrectionist. The department of Justice won’t even bring charges of it

              Half the government are scared of looking partisan and the other half are equally guilty.

              Presumption of innocence isn’t a statement of fact- it is a presumption meant to inform proceedings at (and before,) trial so as to protect civil liberties; and while in that context is important, the reality that Trump and his supporters/puppet masters have incited insurrection is incontrovertible. We watched it happen live

                  Then it’s a good thing that fact and truth don’t rely on what complicit assholes think, isn’t it?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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.
