"Donald J. Trump leads President Biden in five crucial battleground states, a new set of polls shows, as a yearning for change and discontent over the economy and the war in Gaza among young, Black and Hispanic voters threaten to unravel the president’s Democratic coalition ."
This is the same NYT that has an executive editor that thinks "democracy" is a political talking point... and one that rates *below* the economy, immigration, and inflation. He also seems to think that "truth" and political bipartisanship are mutually exclusive concepts, that publishing the facts and/or quotes as they are is tantamount to political interference. (See Mr Last's "The Triad" for more on this.)
Furthermore, by posting the polls the NYT -- and other media sources -- are doomcasting to beat the band. Pollsters haven't gotten it even close to correct over the last three national election cycles so why believe them now unless you are either a MAGAdroid, in which case you'll trust them because the polls match your biases, or you're such low-info voter that rather than do any research on the candidates will accept the polls as "the will of the People" and will vote accordingly.
Besides, we're still just under six months out from the election, and it is likely that the numbers will shift several times before one casts their ballot. The more that Trump [sic] vomits out his perversions, hatreds, and his plans for vengeance, imo, the more non-MAGA voters will be turned off by his rhetoric. And when push comes to shove, the "young, Black and Hispanic voters" that are deserting the Dem tribe, on paper, will likely, at the least, hold their collective noses and pull the lever to keep Pres Biden in office instead of voting for an individual that they *know* couldn't care less about them, their wants and needs (unless he can use them for his own personal -- not political -- gain).
