(92,061 posts)Redfeld and Wilton "characterized", how Biden would lose to trump in 2024, adding comments from Hannity and fox news, just to let you know low Newsweek has sunk to push right wing talking points.
I won't produce the link here, but it was highlighted by google, and they didn't didn't produce the actual statistics or sampling

(92,061 posts)"Newsweek and the Rise of the Zombie Magazine
How a decaying legacy magazine is being used to launder right-wing ideas and conspiracy theories.
Writing in The Columbia Journalism Review last year, Daniel Tovrov depicted Newsweek, once one of Americas most distinguished magazines, as a shell of its former self. All that was left was clickbait, op-eds from the likes of Nigel Farage and Newt Gingrich, and a general sense of drift. Nobody I spoke to for this article had a sense of why Newsweek exists, Tovrov wrote. While the name Newsweek still carries a certain authorityremnants of its status as a legacy outletand the magazine can still bag an impressive interview now and then, it serves an opaque purpose in the media landscape.
Last week, Newsweek suggested one possible purpose: The legitimization of narratives straight out of the right-wing fever swamps. An op-ed written by John Eastman, a conservative lawyer and founding director of the Claremont Institutes Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence, coyly suggested that Kamala Harris, who was born in California, may not be eligible to serve as vice president because her parents were immigrants. It was, as many pointed out, a racist attack with no constitutional merit, on par with the birther conspiracy theory that claimed Barack Obama was born in Kenya. Within a few hours, Eastmans op-ed was being brandished by President Trump, who told reporters he had heard Harris may not be eligible to serve.
Three days after the op-ed was published, Newsweek apologized, sort of. In an editors note signed by global Editor-in-Chief Nancy Cooper and opinion editor Josh Hammer, the magazine acknowledged, We entirely failed to anticipate the ways in which the essay would be interpreted, distorted, and weaponized.... This op-ed is being used by some as a tool to perpetuate racism and xenophobia. We apologize. Still, the magazine refused to recognize what was obviousthat the op-ed was intended to spark questions about the eligibility of a Black woman running for high office. Newsweeks editors merely feigned horror that the op-ed was taken in the only possible way it could have been taken."

(7,488 posts)Although I don't think polls mean that much this far out from an election (talking about 2022 not 2024) and wasn't freaking out about the previous numbers. If the Covid numbers stay down and the economic numbers keep rising - both of which I hope but also believe will happen - then the Democrats and Biden will be in good shape.

(21,264 posts)My best guess; Trump told Putin that NATO would not do much, told Putin that president Biden was weak, told Putin that his Putin party (GQP) would follow his lead.
With that information from Trump, Putin believed that invading Ukraine would damage president Biden, would damage his reelection chances. What actually happened is that the world is condemning Putin, and Trump is talking about windmills killing birds. The GQP is still connected to Trump and they need to stay connected right up to the election.
