The media has been telling the nation for weeks that Biden’s age was the problem of the election, however voters stated within the new NPR that they’re extra involved about honesty and character than age.
NPR reported on two findings that designate how Biden leads Trump total 50%-48%:
– The survey additionally discovered that by a 2-to-1 margin, 68% to 32%, individuals stated itâs extra regarding to have a president who doesnât inform the reality than one who is likely to be too previous to serve.
– A majority stated Biden has the character to be president (52%), whereas a majority additionally stated Trump doesn’t (56%).
The place the relentlessly damaging media protection of Biden has taken its toll exhibits up in 60% of voters surveyed pondering that Trump goes to win the election. A lot of that is pushed by the media always suggesting that if Biden stays within the race, Trump will win the election.
What the media is claiming issues most to voters, doesn’t matter as a lot because the honesty of the candidate and their character. Given this consequence, it looks as if the press ought to spend much less time on Biden’s age and extra time urgent every of the candidates for truthfully and holding Trump accountable for his lies.
The media is masking this election incorrect. The press did the identical factor in 2016 after they targeted on Hillary Clinton’s emails as a substitute of Trump’s scandals and the menace that he poses to democracy.
None of which means Biden or Trump is definite to win. This election is shut. What is obvious although is what’s most vital to the media doesn’t matter practically as a lot to voters.
