    To be honest I had already copied the part in the article you wanted, then figured you’d just ask for what’s in the next paragraph.

    It’s honestly a lot easier when you read a headline and think “I need more info” to just read the article.

    It’s all right there in the article, and a professional wrote it.

    If that’s not enough, well, it’s really not hard to interpret poll results directly. I do it all the time, been doing it for years.

    It’s a good skill if you care about politics, but you’ll never learn how to fish if people keep handing you fish when you ask

      Oh wow, you spent a lot of time and effort making fun of my question, disagreeing with my question, answering the question that’s answered in the headline, telling me how great your analysis of the stats would be, finding some stats that you thought might answer my question and then instead of pressing paste on what you nearly admitted doesn’t quite answer my question, ranting at me yet again for daring to ask it.

      I mean, the Democrats are within spitting distance of losing to Trump, which I think is a crisis in most parts of American society and a heck of a lot of countries in the world, but hey, as long as we don’t ask questions about whether a different leader would win, everything’s fine? Right?

      Honestly, I suspect that if they had found out that Harris is more popular than Biden or Trump on a national poll, that’s absolutely the headline they would have gone with. 100%. This is a weak ass headline because it’s a weak ass result, and I think if there was something unequivocal in there that supported Harris over Biden or Trump nationally, someone would be shouting it, not hiding it in paragraph seven about black voters who often lean Democrat or something.

        Maybe you don’t have to suspect and can just read the fucking article. Because you’re wrong and are writing paragraphs of text about how you imagine things happen rather than just taking a minute out of your day to get the information you’re requesting. Don’t demand other people to be your assistant and then get pissy when they call you out for it.
