President Biden has been struggling in Michigan as Trump grabs a strong lead, according to a new poll.
The survey found that only 17% of likely general election voters said Biden deserved another term leading the country, while Trump's lead over him widened to as much as 12 points when voters were given a list of third-party candidates.
President Biden has been struggling in Michigan as Trump grabs a strong lead, according to a new poll. The survey found that only 17% of likely general election voters said Biden deserved another term leading the country, while Trump's lead over him widened to as much as 12 points when voters were given a list of third-party candidates. This is concerning for Democrats who are hoping to hold on to key swing states like Michigan in the upcoming election.
President Biden is trailing former President Trump by 8 percentage points in the battleground state of Michigan.
The latest Michigan poll found that while neither of the front-runner candidates secured a majority support, voters were more likely to support Trump than Biden.
Just 17 percent said Biden did well enough to get another term in office and 77 percent said they would want to see someone else in the White House.
The Detroit News noted that Trump fared better against Biden when voters were asked to choose between the two front-runners and a third-party candidate.

Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author states that President Biden trails former President Trump by 8 percentage points in Michigan according to a new poll. However, this statement is misleading because it does not provide any context or information about the sample size of the poll or its methodology. The article also fails to disclose whether other candidates were included in the survey and if so, how they performed. This lack of transparency makes it difficult for readers to draw accurate conclusions from the data presented.

Deception

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it presents two separate polls as if they are related when they are not. The first poll shows Trump leading Biden by 8 points among likely voters in Michigan while the second poll shows Trump trailing Gretchen Whitmer by 4 percentage points. These two polls should not be compared to each other as they measure different things and have different sample sizes. Secondly, the article uses sensationalism when it says that Trump is
The second paragraph mentions a hypothetical matchup between Trump and Whitmer, which does not relate to the actual poll results.
The first sentence of the article states that Trump is leading Biden by 8 points in Michigan but fails to mention any specific poll or survey.
Fallacies
(75%)
The article contains two fallacies: Appeals to Authority and Inflammatory Rhetoric. The author cites the findings of a poll conducted by Glengariff Group without providing any context or information about the group's credibility or methodology. This is an appeal to authority, as it suggests that because someone else has said something, it must be true without question. Additionally, the article uses inflammatory rhetoric when describing Trump's lead over Biden in Michigan and his poor performance against Gretchen Whitmer in a hypothetical matchup. This is an attempt to elicit strong emotions from readers rather than presenting factual information objectively.
The poll, conducted by the Michigan-based Glengariff Group from Jan. 2 to Jan. 6,
Bias
(75%)
The article contains examples of both ideological and monetary bias. The author uses language that depicts Trump as a strong leader while demonizing Biden's leadership skills. Additionally, the article mentions Gretchen Whitmer in passing but does not provide any context or analysis on her political stance or performance.
The poll surveyed 600 likely general election voters in Michigan and had a margin of error of 4 percentage points. It was conducted for The Detroit News and Michigan station WDIV-TV.
President Biden on Monday sought to connect the fallout of the Civil War with the aftermath of the 2020 election as he warned truth and basic freedoms would be at risk if former President Trump won another term in the White House.
Biden drew comparisons between 2020 and the Civil War, when he said defeated Confederates could not accept defeat and instead embraced a lie that brought on Jim Crow laws that disenfranchised and discriminated against Black people.
The president spoke at Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston, where a white supremacist gunman killed nine people, all of whom were Black.
Biden warned the truth is under assault in America because without it there is no light and without light there is no path from this darkness.
He rattled off a list of accomplishments during his administration including legislation to lower prescription drug prices, an executive order to increase accountability in policing and efforts curb gun violence.
Biden took direct aim at Trump, calling him a closer and condemning Trump's recent comments that the community had to move on after a school shooting in Iowa.
He warned that MAGA Republicans are trying to steal history by rewriting the events of Jan. 6 as a peaceful protest.
The lies that led to Jan. 6 are part of a broader attack on the truth of America today and they're trying to determine erase history and your future, including banning books, denying right vote have it counted, destroying diversity equality inclusion all across America.

Brett Samuels commits several fallacies in his article. He uses an appeal to authority by stating that defeated Confederates could not accept defeat and instead embraced the 'lost cause' that the war was about state rights, not slavery. This is a false statement as there were many reasons for the Civil War beyond just states' rights and slavery. Samuels also commits a dichotomous depiction by stating that Trump is trying to rewrite history after Jan 6th when in fact he has been condemning it repeatedly. He uses inflammatory rhetoric by calling Trump a 'closer' and stating that the lies led to Jan 6th are part of an attack on truth. Samuels also commits several informal fallacies such as using loaded language like 'second lost cause' which is not accurate.
Defeated Confederates could not accept defeat and instead embraced the “lost cause” that the war was about state rights, not slavery.

Brett Samuels uses the Civil War and Jim Crow laws to draw comparisons between the past and present. He also directly attacks former President Trump for his comments about the election being stolen. The author's language is highly charged and emotional, which could be seen as an attempt to manipulate readers rather than provide a clear analysis of events.
