Trump trusted more than Biden on democracy among key swing-state voters
A poll of swing-state voters shows that Americans rate threats to democracy as an important issue, but that the president has yet to convince them he is the one to defend it.
I'll note that this is substantially at odds with the candidates positions and history:
Joe Biden: Mr. Biden has framed the stakes of his re-election campaign as a fight to preserve American democracy. He has forcefully condemned Mr. Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, and he has pursued — but Congress has not passed — legislation to expand voting access and counter restrictions in Republican-led states.
Mr. Trump is the only United States president who has refused to accept his loss in a democratic election. He tried to overturn the 2020 election and has sought to delegitimize the electoral system. He also uses terms like “vermin” to describe his political opponents and other groups, including migrants, dehumanizing swaths of society in language that echoes Hitler and other authoritarian leaders.

Fucking, HOW!?
For a lot of people "Democracy" means "rule by rich white men" and not "a system where elections determine who will hold power"
Fucktards.
