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.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

YouGov is an online pollster, but rated relatively okay in reliability. Some of the opinions on Harris are unreasonable, it’s like the people being polled don’t know her strengths at all and are judging her as any random Dem. I wonder how this type of opinion changes over time

Edit I guess it’s old news so the polls are probably unreliable now

To be fair, I don’t notice her that much. What are her strengths? All I know is she used to be like, a prosecutor. Don’t hate, I’m trying to learn here!

I'm having another of those "Damn - I'm still not cynical enough" moments at the thought that anyone would actually believe that Trump could do a better job than anyone else at anything having anything at all to do with the economy.

It'd make sense if the measure of an effective president was their skill at lying, filing false financial reports, dodging creditors and filing bankruptcy - then Trump would clearly be unequalled. But since it's not...?

I think it’s a matter of “marketing” at this point, the Harris campaign just needs to remind everyone of the four miserable years of Trumps actual shit show presidency

Or maybe name-calling is a better strategy? Call them weird, odd, abnormal, unusual,

Old data, and old article. The polling gains on Trump's behalf have evened out to a statistical dead heat in just a week. I expect her to be leading in new polls after this week, possibly more after the DNC.

I agree, things are progressing pretty quickly everyday. I just saw this article though
