For me, this MSN article is a big example of the problem with the media
Swing States: Underwater Across The Board
Every major battleground state shows Trump in negative territory, but not by overwhelming margins.
Arizona (42 percent approve, 53 percent disapprove) and North Carolina (41 to 55 percent) remain relatively tight. Pennsylvania posts 41 to 54 percent, while Wisconsin is close behind at 41 to 55 percent.
**So... -11, -14, -13 are relatively tight. I want to know how this fool defines "relatively"
Michigan (38 to 57 percent) and Nevada (37 to 56 percent) show slightly wider gaps, while Georgia is among the more challenging swing states at 37 to 57 percent.
**Aaaaaand... -19, -20 are slightly wider gaps and/or more challenging.
In other words, Trump is underwater everywhere that will likely decide future elections, but the deficits remain within a range that could shift under the right conditions.
**If these numbers were under a Democratic Administration, my guess is, we'd be told how they were catastrophic, and that the Democrats were in gigantic trouble. As opposed to "remain within a range that could shift under the right conditions."
