A new set survey from Public Policy Polling finds President Biden leading disgraced former President Trump 48 to 45 in Pennsylvania and 48 to 44 in both Michigan and Wisconsin. This result was posted six hours ago and we just randomly see it on Twitter when New York Magazine’s Eric Levitz joked about how funny it would be if Biden won the Electoral College but not the popular vote.

Weird how we had to happen upon it rather than seeing it being reported by like say, Axios, the New York Times, NBC, Fox News, the Washington Post, The Hill, CNN, Politico, Mediaite, CBS, and so on and so forth. Now of course there’s a lot of other shit going on these days but it’s hard to escape the feeling that they might’ve kind of picked it up if the finding was reversed so they can be like “HOLY SHIT! TRUMP LEADS BIDEN IN SWING STATES TOO!” the way they were like “HOLY SHIT! THIS NEW ABC WASHINGTON POST POLL FINDS TRUMP UP 11 POINTS OVER BIDEN IN 2024! IT’S PROBABLY ACCURATE! NOT AN OUTLIER! AMERICAN DEMOCRACY IS FUCKED! SO DEVASTATING! VOTERS ARE REALLY CONCERNED OVER BIDEN’S AGE TOO! THEY SAID IT! LOOK!” on Sunday.

And it’s not like Public Policy Polling is some fringe bullshit propaganda operation like Rasmussen or Trafalgar on the right or Center Street PAC on the left. The MSM outlets cite PPP findings all the time. They might not be a “household name” like Pew or Gallup, but they’re close enough. Their record’s okay, tracks with the industry at large in both 2020 and 2022. So there’s really no excuse for the MSM not to want to pick this up unless they want to further anger the liberals already constantly accusing them of, unconsciously or otherwise, pushing a certain narrative.
