Deception
(30%)
The article makes several statements that imply facts without providing links to peer-reviewed studies which have not been retracted. For example, the statement 'Harris slightly outperformed Biden among Black voters, leading Trump among this demographic by 64 points (78% to 14%)' and 'Among other demographics – by age, by gender, among Latino voters – there was almost no difference between Biden or Harris.' These statements are not backed up with any sources and therefore cannot be verified. Additionally, the article uses emotional manipulation through phrases such as 'dismal debate performance' and 'assassination attempt on Trump'. Lastly, the article engages in selective reporting by only presenting polling data that supports the author's position.
Harris slightly outperformed Biden among Black voters, leading Trump among this demographic by 64 points (78% to 14%)
Among other demographics – by age, by gender, among Latino voters – there was almost no difference between Biden or Harris.
Fallacies
(80%)
The author makes several statements that could be considered appeals to authority. They reference multiple polls as evidence for their claims about the current political landscape and the relative performance of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. However, without directly examining these polls or their methodologies, it is impossible to determine if they are valid or if they accurately represent the electorate. Therefore, while there may be some merit to these statements, they do not provide sufficient evidence to definitively label them as fallacies.
