CNN's new poll doesn't establish some failsafe alternative to Biden for Democrats. But it does run against the twin ideas that the debate itself doomed Biden and that Harris isn't a viable alternative. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

John Malone, a Trump supporter, as the lead shareholder of its parent company, basically owns CNN.

I think anyone in media industry should be scared shitless at the idea of a Trump back in power Bonesaw 2 All our lives are on the line man the focus should be on Donald and the horrific things he’s saying.

Now for a poll after the SCOTUS rulings, that likely did change things (I fucking would hope)

I don't think it tells us anything one way or the other.

Seems appropriate to see what the voters feel about the possibility of a Trump unfettered by the law, doesn’t it???

I have long given up on polls. We will vote blue. There is no other choice. Trump will destroy everything if he gets into office again.

Why don't we all start focusing on the issues and policies of the men and parties?

Of course the pundits had their reaction and ran with it. Not a surprise they're out of touch with the public. That's been true for a long time.

CNN should be attacking Trump for being Putin's puppet. Who owns CNN?

We've gotten to the point where there are true "undecided" voters out there on Trump and Biden, so I'd be shocked if polls shift much. Hell, Trump got convicted of multiple felonies and was incoherent at the debate and nothing changed. It's all about who shows up more in November.

Maybe incorrect, but a hypothesis you could have is that Biden was already unpopular, a big chunk of Biden votes were anti-Trump, and an empty suit is *easier* for Trump opponents to rally around than some young go-getter.

Practical suggestion - WaPo's new (?) online format means it's critical to put a central point in the first 2 paragraphs. Non-subscribers now see a snippet of the article (with no warning that there's more). For your article, non-subscribers just see this on Bad Biden Performance. Nothing on polls.

Why are we doing this? Everyone knows that the polls are terrible at the moment, with abysmal response rates and a public by and large still tuned out of politics. This line should be the whole article:
