Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Maybe you don't have to suspect and can just read the fucking article. Because you're wrong and are writing paragraphs of text about how you imagine things happen rather than just taking a minute out of your day to get the information you're requesting. Don't demand other people to be your assistant and then get pissy when they call you out for it.
The important question is how popular Harris is in a national poll, and how that compares to Biden and Trump. (Not whether Democrats think she's OK. That's a non-issue. )
You're not answering because (a) you got instantly "pissy" about me asking and (b) there's no answer to my question in the article. There are a lot of half answers and they don't add up to any whole answer. Again, if they had found out something unequivocal or important about Harris's popularity nationally, they'd have put it in the headline, but there isn't anything. You're telling me off for not reading the article, but it feels like you're not reading what I'm saying and missing the point entirely.
I asked the question that the headline didn't answer and that the article didn't answer, and instead of admitting that, you've gone on this long tirade against me for asking a question on an internet forum, which quite honestly is weird behaviour.
I'm a different person observing your immature response to being called out for not reading the article. The article very much did answer your question. Your assumptions about what would be the headline answer are wrong.
Incorrect. There is no clear, unequivocal answer to the question of how Harris compares to Biden or Trump in national popularity or saying states. Your assumptions about the ability of headline writers to pick out the big news in a story are what's wrong.
