More Americans expect Trump win against Biden: YouGov poll
More Americans say they think former President Trump will beat President Biden if they are their parties’ respective nominees for president, according to a new poll by The Economist/YouGov. Asked i…
This certainly tracks with me. I was familiar with the pro-Trump crowd on Facebook and Reddit for many years, but I never understood why liberals just failed to get the vote out until I came to lemmy/kbin. The sheer amount of people on the fediverse who are loudly choose to vote against their own interests due to a lack of understanding about how US politics work is a tragedy. It seems the right's war on civic education has reached its tipping point, and they no longer need to rely on policy or numbers; they just need to rely on the ignorance of those who might have voted against them. We seem doomed for a second Trump presidency because nobody wants to take responsibility for the future.
I'm not sure why how Americans expect other people to vote matters.
It’s because YouGov is bullshit and asks leading poll questions.
which orange skin man is most likely to win the presidency?
Headline:
4/5 people think Trump will win the presidency
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The majority of Americans, 57 percent, also expect Trump to be the GOP nominee.
That number is led by Republicans — 76 percent of whom say they think Trump will be the GOP nominee for president in 2024.
The number reflects the commanding lead Trump has among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents — 65 percent say in this poll that they would support Trump if the primary were held today.
The GOP primary contest begins Monday with the Iowa caucuses, which Trump is heavily favored to win.
Democrats were less confident in Trump’s popularity, with only 45 percent of them saying they expected him to be the GOP nominee.
More than half of Independents, 53 percent, thought Trump would win the nomination, however.
The original article contains 272 words, the summary contains 122 words. Saved 55%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
That... that has fuck all to do with the article title.
The actually relevant part:
Asked in a poll to predict who would win, “regardless of who you prefer,” 44 percent said Trump, 35 percent said Biden and 21 percent said they were not sure. They remain split, however, on which candidate they support — with 43 percent supporting Biden and 43 percent supporting Trump.
The most interesting thing, IMO, is that more people think Trump will win than actually support him, while for Biden it’s the opposite.
This is literally the worst summary bot of all time. It would be better to just take the first two paragraphs of any article. A chimpanzee with a digitizing pen could do better.
Why in the flying donkey nuts do people think the only two options are elderly people gradually losing their marbles?
Jebus H Christ, there are other people you can vote for.
Not who will win, no. Sure, you can vote for the 1%, 3%, 5% candidates.
The winner will be either the Republican or the Democrat.
There are plenty of people you can vote for, but there are only two people who might win. Vote intelligently. Vote like the future depends on it.
Which one has a chance of winning?
In the primaries maybe, in the general you have 2 options, voting anything else increases the chance of a trump win. Which is objectively worse for everyone.
