Bad news Newsweek Poll

A Newsweek poll indicated 58 percent Blamed Biden more than Trump on Putin invading Ukraine, and only 42 blamed Trump more. 36 percent said they would be less likely to voe for Biden, while only 24 percent would be less likely to vote for Trump. Never mind if Trump wanted us to leave NATO. The relentless con propaganda machine is working.

especially since the composite totals on 538 are running 60% unfavorable on the orange headed buffoon.

Newsweek’s Rightward Swing Has Kushner Written All Over It

WHERE KUSH GETS HIS NEWS(WEEK): Media observers have recently noted how Newsweek, once The Daily Beast’s partner publication, has lurched further and further rightward in its editorial voice. Source Material has learned that readers can at least partly thank Trump adviser Jared Kushner, who, according to two people with direct knowledge of the matter, has maintained a cozy relationship with the outlet.

How is it anybody's fault except for the person responsible for doing the invading?

Actually, it is so bad now, that I would personally think about self-deleting this.

24. Highly Questionable Poll

This type of issue is custom made for getting trap answers.
Example: do you blame the invasions more on; a) Biden who is the president now, or; b) Trump who had a friendly relationship with Putin?
The question itself can greatly skew the results.
It is, after all, Newsweek.
