Folks reposting this: note that this isn't a crosstab. 38% is of the "deciders" (a group of young, irregular, and not-definitely-decided voters). It's not of the 7 in 10 that think Trump will reject a defeat
Such a strange way to frame the article then. A constructed small plurality of a constructed sub-group thinks Trump handles threats to democracy better.
What a bizarre framing. It's almost as if they tried every possible sub-sub-sub group in order to find the one that could produce the most preposterous headline.
I don't believe that was the intention. I believe the intention was to identify a group of people whose preferences are less fixed. I'd personally draw the lines a bit differently (excluding those who say they will "probably" vote for a candidate), but I think it's a good variation on standard polls
Maybe. But at this point, I don't give WaPo or NYT the benefit of the doubt -- they *always* use the most anti-Biden framing possible. The poll interviews are also a month old, and so don't take into account more recent events (e.g., the last day of polling was the day of Trump's conviction).
Perhaps you should consider that newspapers are not unitary actors but contain multitudes, or that there are good reasons to produce additional stories from polls (this is not the first released from this set of polling), or that there may be other considerations that you are not aware of.
